Israeli settler attacks surge in occupied West Bank as Palestinians demand protection

Israeli police have killed a Palestinian man in Jerusalem and the Israeli army has blocked humanitarian assistance from reaching an occupied West Bank village besieged by settlers for weeks.

Officers opened fire on a 33-year-old Palestinian near Damascus gate in Jerusalem on Friday. Israeli police said its border guard “neutralised” the man, claiming he was attempting to stab one of them.

The Palestinian Wafa news agency identified the man as Ibrahim al-Hendi from East Jerusalem’s Beit Hanina neighbourhood. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Following the incident, Israeli forces deployed around Damascus Gate and the surrounding area of Jerusalem’s Old City, Palestinian sources told Al Jazeera.

Separately, the Israeli army said that it arrested Palestinians in the town of Qabatiya in the West Bank, alleging they were “planning to carry out an attack” against Israelis and security forces.

Ten other Palestinians were arrested during a 48-hour Israeli army operation in Nablus in the West Bank. The Israeli army said it seized more than “30 weapon production machines used to manufacture weapons” during the operation.

Meanwhile, Israeli settlers and soldiers carried out attacks across the occupied West Bank on Friday, Wafa reported. Settlers stormed the Khirbet al-Hamra community in the northern Jordan Valley and assaulted one resident.

Israeli settlers, accompanied by soldiers, also attacked Khalet a-Nahlah in southern Bethlehem. Israeli forces also fired tear gas and concussion grenades at a crowd of Palestinians who gathered to resist the attacks.

Blocking access to Qusra

As violence and harassment of Palestinians continues across the occupied territory, the Israeli army on Friday also prevented around 100 peace activists from delivering food and medicine to Palestinians who have been under siege in the town of Qusra for 28 days.

Since August 9, Israeli settlers have besieged three Palestinian homes in the northern occupied West Bank village, while the Israeli army has also prevented the families from entering or leaving them, claiming the area is a “closed military zone”.

“Day 28 of the blockade on Qusra. About 100 activists arrived to deliver supplies to the besieged families,” the Israeli Peace Now movement said in a post on X.

“The army blocked us at first, claiming Qusra was a ‘closed military zone.’ Then let us in but on the way back detained us for ‘violating a closed military zone’,” it added.

Qusra Mayor Abdel Azim Wadi also told the state-run Turkish Anadolu news agency that the Israeli army has been “preventing the delivery of basic necessities to three families trapped on Mount Ras al-Ain”.

US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Israeli public broadcaster Kan on Friday that settler violence against Palestinians is “damaging the image of Israel as a nation and a people, warning that Israel “needs all the friends it can get” and “doesn’t need more enemies”.

Around 750,000 Israeli settlers live in 156 illegal settlements and 360 settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and carry out attacks aimed at forcibly displacing Palestinians, according to Palestinian figures.

阻止访问 Qusra

在被占领土上，针对巴勒斯坦人的暴力和骚扰仍在继续。周五，以色列军队还阻止了约 100 名和平活动人士向被围困在库斯拉镇 28 天的巴勒斯坦人运送食物和药品。

自 8 月 9 日以来，以色列定居者围困了约旦河西岸北部被占领村庄中的三户巴勒斯坦人家，而以色列军队也阻止了这些家庭进出这些房屋，声称该地区是“封闭军事区”。

“库斯拉封锁第 28 天。约 100 名活动人士抵达，向被围困的家庭运送物资，”以色列和平运动在 X 上发帖称。

“军队一开始阻止我们进入，声称库斯拉是‘封闭军事区’。然后放我们进去，但在返回途中又以‘违反封闭军事区’为由拘留了我们，”声明补充道。

库斯拉市长阿卜杜勒·阿齐姆·瓦迪也告诉土耳其官方通讯社阿纳多卢通讯社，以色列军队“阻止向被困在拉斯艾因山上的三个家庭运送基本生活必需品”。

美国驻以色列大使迈克·赫卡比周五告诉以色列公共广播公司Kan，定居者对巴勒斯坦人的暴力行为“损害了以色列作为一个国家和人民的形象”，并警告说，以色列“需要尽可能多的朋友”，“不需要更多的敌人”。

据巴勒斯坦方面统计，约有 75 万以色列定居者居住在被占领的西岸（包括东耶路撒冷）的 156 个非法定居点和 360 个定居点前哨站，并实施旨在强迫巴勒斯坦人流离失所的袭击。
