Palestinians injured, arrested in Israeli raids across West Bank

This comes as more than 3,300 Palestinians are forced from homes in Hebron in Israeli military offensive.

Israeli forces and settlers have escalated pogroms and raids across the occupied West Bank, attacking and injuring Palestinians, restricting their movement, carrying out arrests and demolishing homes.

This comes as a military offensive and siege on the Hebron governorate entered its seventh day – an operation that has displaced or besieged hundreds of Palestinian families and kept tens of thousands of students out of classrooms.

In the Qalandiya refugee camp just north of occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli forces carried out a raid that triggered clashes on Thursday. Two children were wounded, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said.

It said its teams treated a 15-year-old boy who was shot with live ammunition in both legs, and a child, aged 12, who was injured by live-bullet fragments. Both were taken to hospital.

In a separate incident, Israeli soldiers and settlers beat disabled Palestinian Mohammad Ahmad Ayesh Thawabta in the village of al-Maniya, southeast of Bethlehem, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

In the northern West Bank, Israeli forces detained 13 Palestinians, including three brothers, in raids before dawn on Thursday, the Palestinian Prisoners Media Office and local sources said. Most of the raids were in the Nablus governorate, where soldiers searched homes and harassed families.

In Hebron, Israeli forces continued raids and closures that began last week after two Israeli soldiers were killed in a gun attack. Both Palestinian suspects were also killed.

Hebron Governor Khaled Dudin said on Thursday that 537 families, comprising 3,361 people, have been forced from their homes, Wafa reported.

They include 232 infants, 326 older people, 147 pregnant or breastfeeding women and 213 people with chronic illnesses. Municipal figures put the total number affected, including those under siege, at about 5,000 people from 780 families.

Dudin said the offensive has disrupted education for about 262,000 students across 589 schools in the governorate this week, forcing schools to move to remote learning. Officials estimated daily economic losses at 10 million to 12 million shekels ($3.2m to $3.9m).

The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said Israeli forces detained 110 Palestinians in the governorate from Friday to Wednesday. Soldiers beat two men in Dura and Wad al-Saman and arrested two brothers while they were ploughing their land east of Yatta, it said. Israeli forces also raided homes in Taffuh and Halhul, and settlers attacked vehicles at the city’s closed northern entrance, it added.

Memorials demolished

In nearby Masafer Yatta, armed settlers attacked US journalist Jasper Nathaniel and two activists in the village of Umm al-Khair on Wednesday. Russian activist Adele Shoko said on X that the settlers beat and threatened them and stole their equipment and Nathaniel was pepper-sprayed and arrested.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said Israeli forces are still operating in Hebron, blocking access and imposing tight restrictions on movement across the governorate.

They are “disrupting Palestinians’ access to livelihoods, education and healthcare. Most displaced families are staying with relatives,” OCHA said, calling for the prevention of further forced displacements and demolitions.

Israeli forces also demolished memorials to Palestinians in several parts of the Hebron governorate on Thursday. In Dura, south of Hebron city, soldiers fired a heavy barrage of tear gas before bulldozing a mural bearing the images of several of the town’s dead, including Bajis Abu Atwan, who was killed in the 1970s.

The targeting of memorials “appears to be a new pattern recently adopted by Israeli forces across all West Bank governorates – though at a higher rate here in Hebron”, Al Jazeera’s Muntasir Nassar said, reporting from Dura.

Israeli military and settler attacks across the West Bank have intensified since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023.

与此同时，在以色列的军事行动中，超过3300名巴勒斯坦人被迫离开希伯伦的家园。

以色列军队和定居者在被占领的西岸地区不断升级种族清洗和袭击，攻击和伤害巴勒斯坦人，限制他们的行动，实施逮捕并拆毁房屋。

此前，对希伯伦省的军事进攻和围困已进入第七天——这场行动导致数百个巴勒斯坦家庭流离失所或被围困，数万名学生无法上课。

周四，在被占领的东耶路撒冷以北的卡兰迪亚难民营，以色列军队发动突袭，引发冲突。巴勒斯坦红新月会称，两名儿童受伤。

声明称，其救援队救治了一名双腿中弹的15岁男孩和一名被实弹碎片击伤的12岁儿童。两人均被送往医院。

据巴勒斯坦官方通讯社瓦法社报道，在另一起事件中，以色列士兵和定居者在伯利恒东南部的马尼亚村殴打残疾巴勒斯坦人穆罕默德·艾哈迈德·阿耶什·塔瓦布塔。

据巴勒斯坦囚犯媒体办公室和当地消息人士称，周四凌晨，以色列军队在约旦河西岸北部地区发动突袭，逮捕了13名巴勒斯坦人，其中包括三兄弟。大部分突袭行动发生在纳布卢斯省，士兵搜查民宅并骚扰居民。

在希伯伦，以色列军队继续进行上周开始的突袭和封锁行动。此前，两名以色列士兵在枪击事件中丧生，两名巴勒斯坦嫌疑人也被击毙。

据瓦法通讯社报道，希伯伦省长哈立德·杜丁周四表示，537个家庭，共3361人，被迫离开家园。

其中包括232名婴儿、326名老年人、147名孕妇或哺乳期妇女以及213名慢性病患者。市政数据显示，包括被围困人员在内，受影响总人数约为5000人，涉及780个家庭。

杜丁表示，本周的军事行动已导致该省589所学校约26.2万名学生的教育中断，迫使学校转为远程教学。官员估计，每日经济损失在1000万至1200万谢克尔（约合320万至390万美元）之间。

巴勒斯坦囚犯协会称，以色列军队从上周五到周三在该省拘留了110名巴勒斯坦人。该协会表示，士兵在杜拉和瓦德萨曼殴打了两名男子，并在亚塔东部逮捕了正在耕作的两兄弟。该协会还补充说，以色列军队突袭了塔夫和哈勒胡勒的民宅，定居者袭击了该市封闭的北部入口处的车辆。

纪念碑被拆毁

在附近的马萨费尔亚塔，武装定居者周三在乌姆海尔村袭击了美国记者贾斯珀·纳撒尼尔和两名活动人士。俄罗斯活动人士阿黛尔·肖科在X网站上表示，定居者殴打并威胁了他们，抢走了他们的设备，纳撒尼尔还被喷了辣椒水并被逮捕。

联合国人道主义事务协调厅（OCHA）表示，以色列军队仍在希伯伦开展行动，封锁道路并对整个省的行动实施严格限制。

联合国人道事务协调厅表示，这些行为“扰乱了巴勒斯坦人获得生计、教育和医疗保健的途径。大多数流离失所的家庭都住在亲戚家”，并呼吁防止进一步的强迫流离失所和房屋拆迁。

周四，以色列军队还在希伯伦省的多个地区拆毁了巴勒斯坦人的纪念碑。在希伯伦市以南的杜拉，士兵们发射了大量催泪瓦斯，然后用推土机推倒了一幅壁画，壁画上画着该镇几位死者的肖像，其中包括上世纪70年代遇害的巴吉斯·阿布·阿特万。

半岛电视台记者蒙塔西尔·纳赛尔在杜拉报道说，袭击纪念碑“似乎是以色列军队最近在约旦河西岸所有省份采取的一种新模式——尽管在希伯伦的袭击频率更高”。

自以色列于 2023 年 10 月开始对加沙发动战争以来，以色列军队和定居者在西岸的袭击愈演愈烈。
