Incursions and Raids

Israeli occupation forces stormed several towns, villages and refugee camps across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, including occupied Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Al-Khalil (Hebron), and Jenin. 

Al-Jazeera reported that Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Tubas at dawn on Sunday, where they bombed two houses with incendiary missiles in the center of the city.

Footage broadcast by Palestinian media showed one of the two houses burning after being targeted by the Israeli forces.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that at least five Palestinians were injured by Israeli army gunfire in various areas of the West Bank.

Two children were reportedly injured in the Surif area, north of Hebron, two Palestinians were shot in the Askar camp, near Nablus, while another was injured by occupation forces in the town of Asira.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent pointed to the outbreak of armed clashes between Palestinian resistance fighters and the occupation forces in a number of areas of the West Bank.

The boy, identified as  17-year-old Mahmoud Abu Haniyeh, was shot by Israeli soldiers during their storming of the town of Azzun in Qalqilya in the northern West Bank.

With the killing of Abu Haniyeh, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since the beginning of 2023 has risen to 483, including 275 who were killed after October 7.
