Raging raids: Israeli forces storm more areas in occupied West Bank

Israeli forces have launched new raids across the occupied West Bank, as in Gaza, another baby has died of hypothermia amid plummeting temperatures and the Israeli military’s tight restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid, including blankets and winter supplies.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli forces stormed the town of Marda, located 18 kilometers (11 miles) southwest of Nablus, as well as the Balata refugee camp, near Nablus, late on Sunday evening.

In Marda, Israeli troops fired sound and light bombs and raided several Palestinian homes. The village is home to the Bar al-Walidain Mosque which Israeli settlers had set fire to on December 20, Wafa reported.

The sound of gunfire was heard in Balata, as Israeli forces – accompanied by a military bulldozer – stormed the camp.

Moreover, Israeli forces stormed Ras Khamis neighborhood, northeast of the occupied al-Quds, on Sunday evening.

The al-Quds Governorate said in a brief statement that Israeli troops stormed Ras Khamis neighborhood, amidst the firing of toxic gas bombs.

Furthermore, a teenager was killed on Sunday evening after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in the Askar al-Jadeed refugee camp, east of Nablus.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in a brief statement identified the victim as 17-year-old Moataz Ahmed Abdul Wahab Madani.

The Israeli troops stormed Askar hill area and fired live bullets, flares and tear gas, which resulted in Madani being shot in the chest with a live round.

He was subsequently transferred by the Palestinian Red Crescent to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, where he was declared dead due to his injuries.

Meanwhile, the eighth baby has died of hypothermia in Gaza.

“I am the mother of Yousef. I lost him,” the infant’s mother said. “He died because of the very cold weather. He slept next to me and in the morning, I found him frozen and dead. I don’t know what to say,” she said.

“No one can feel my misery. No one in the world can understand our catastrophic situation. Yousef was fine. He was born healthy… I lost Yousef forever.”

Backed by the United States and its Western allies, Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the Israeli regime in response to its decades-long campaign of oppression against Palestinians.

Gaza faces severe shortage of medicine amid Israel's blockade

The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed at least 45,805 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 109,064 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.

On November 21 last year, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for its deadly war on the blockaded coastal sliver.
