Teen Succumbs to Israeli Gunfire
A Palestinian teenager died on Sunday from injuries sustained during Israeli army gunfire near Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, marking another fatality amid intensifying military attacks.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced overnight that 17-year-old Mohammad Wahbi Hanani has died after succumbing to critical injuries sustained during an Israeli military raid on the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
Hanani was shot in the head with live ammunition on Saturday evening. He was transported in critical condition to Rafidia Government Hospital in Nablus, where he was later pronounced dead.
The same incident also left another child injured. According to Ameed Ahmad, director of the Red Crescent Ambulance and Emergency Center in Nablus, a 16-year-old boy was shot in the foot. Both victims were transferred to Rafidia Hospital for treatment.
Settler Assaults Injure Civilians, Including Child
In parallel with Israeli military attacks, illegal Israeli Jewish settlers carried out violent attacks against Palestinian communities.
According to Anadolu, three Palestinians were injured in settler assaults in different parts of the West Bank, including a child.
The attacks involved physical beatings and stone-throwing at residents and vehicles, causing injuries and property damage. Medical teams treated the wounded at local facilities.
Al-Jazeera also reported rising settler activity in several villages, where armed settlers attacked homes and agricultural lands under the protection or presence of Israeli forces. Local sources described an atmosphere of impunity, with repeated assaults occurring without accountability.
Forced Displacement East of Ramallah
The escalation extended to forced displacement, particularly in Bedouin and rural communities.
Anadolu reported that illegal Israeli Jewish settler attacks east of Ramallah compelled 11 Palestinian families to leave their homes.
The assaults reportedly included intimidation, property destruction, and sustained harassment, creating conditions that made continued residence impossible for the affected families.
Local sources said that settlers repeatedly entered the area, threatened residents, and damaged tents and structures. The displacement reflects a broader trend of pressure on Palestinian communities in Area C of the West Bank, where expansion of illegal settlements has intensified.

Reportedly, an Israeli judge issued a requirement for Palestinians to “prove ownership” to their west bank lands.
How about use a DNA profile of the truly indigenous Semitic people to prove historical ownership instead of “jewish settler” fabrications , which show approximately 97% are of eastern European decent ?
