Israeli settlers, forces attack Palestinians in new West Bank raids
Israeli settlers and the regime forces have attacked Palestinians and their homes in new raids across the occupied West Bank.
The WAFA news agency reported on Sunday that a group of settlers, backed by the occupation soldiers, assaulted Palestinians in Wadi Hilweh, an area in the East al-Quds neighborhood of Silwan.
Citing local activist Aref Jaber, WAFA also reported settler attacks in the Jaber, as-Salaymeh, and Wadi Nasara districts of al-Khalil's Old City.
The activist said a 64-year-old Palestinian man, Abdul Aziz al-Shantir, sustained head injuries after Israeli settlers stormed his shop in al-Khalil’s Old City.
In Wadi al-Hussein, east of al-Khalil, settlers threw stones and empty bottles at Palestinian houses.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces raided the village of Nabi Saleh northwest of the city of Ramallah, firing live ammunition at a parked vehicle.
The Israeli military launched its offensive against the occupied West Bank on January 21, claiming that it was targeting the resistance fighters of the Jenin Battalion.
Israel has ramped up West Bank violence since October 7, 2023, when it launched its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Since then, at least 935 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 7,000 others injured in the attacks by the Israeli soldiers and settlers across the West Bank.
The raids have so far uprooted at least 40,000 people, the largest displacement since the 1967 war that led to the Israeli occupation of the territory, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
