Israeli military forces have shot and injured a Palestinian teenager and assaulted two paramedics in raids across the West Bank, marking the latest casualties in the occupied territory as the Tel Aviv regime accelerates its annexation plans in the area.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli forces stormed the al-Arroub refugee camp in the city of al-Khalil on Saturday, triggering clashes with local residents.

Israeli forces used live fire and tear gas canisters during the raid, injuring a Palestinian teenager. Dozens of people suffered from tear gas inhalation.

Israeli troops also assaulted two paramedics during a raid in the town of Halhul, north of al-Khalil.

Two Palestinians were abducted by the Israeli army in raids in Beit Awwa, south of Hebron, and Anata, northeast of East Jerusalem. Military raids were also reported in Ramallah and the Jalazone refugee camp in the city, but no arrests were reported.

In the northern city of Qalqilya, Israeli forces kidnapped another Palestinian after breaking into his home and ransacking its contents, Wafa said.

Meanwhile, the al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouins said in a statement that illegal Israeli settlers raided the Palestinian village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem, and attacked residents and their farmland,

In the Khallet al-Louza village, illegal settlers released their livestock onto Palestinian farmlands, destroying part of the crops, the organization said.

Hawkish Israeli ministers push West Bank annexation amid Western recognition of Palestine

The furious reaction by Israeli ministers comes after Britain, Canada, and Australia formally recognized the state of Palestine.

Baidar said Israeli settlers also plan to establish an outpost in the Rogm al-Naqa area, east of the village of al-Rashayida, south of Bethlehem.

“This step comes as part of repeated attempts by illegal settlers to seize Palestinian lands, especially those of historical and strategic significance,” it warned.

Israel has ramped up its aggression against Palestinians across the West Bank since October 7, 2023, when it launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.

Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and thousands of others injured by Israeli settlers or troops across the occupied territory since the onset of the war.

More than 700,000 Israelis live in over 230 settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East al-Quds.

The international community views the settlements as illegal under international law and the Geneva Conventions due to their construction in the occupied territories.
