The Palestinian Red Crescent stated on Saturday evening that a child was injured after being run over by an Israeli military vehicle in the city of Jericho in the occupied West Bank, while the occupation forces carried out a series of incursions across the West Bank.
In another development, the occupation forces stormed the town of Birzeit north of Ramallah, according to local sources. Prior to that, settlers invaded the Khalayil area in the village of al-Mughayer northeast of Ramallah, wandering through agricultural lands accompanied by forces from the occupation army in a provocative scene.
In occupied Jerusalem, the occupation forces arrested a young man during their incursion into the town of Abu Dis southeast of the city. In northern West Bank, the official Palestinian news agency reported that settlers attacked citizens in the "Hamma" gathering in the northern Jordan Valley.
The agency clarified that a group of settlers attacked the homes of citizens and assaulted their residents, including a citizen and his son who were beaten. In other developments, on Saturday, Israeli settlers attacked villages and agricultural areas in the West Bank, assaulting residents and damaging agricultural crops, resulting in injuries to several individuals, including a woman and two foreign activists, coinciding with the settlers' announcement of their intention to establish a new settlement outpost south of Bethlehem.
The "Bider" human rights organization defending the rights of Bedouins stated that settlers stormed the village of Kisan east of Bethlehem and attacked the residents, also releasing their livestock into agricultural lands, leading to widespread destruction of crops.
In "Khalayil al-Lawz" south of the city, settlers released their livestock onto the lands of the Suwais family and damaged part of their crops. The organization added that settlers announced their intention to establish a settlement outpost in the "Rujm al-Naqa" area east of the Rashayida village, and published a video clip of the head of the settlement council in "Gush Etzion," Yaron Rosenthal, confirming this.
It clarified that the area is considered vital grazing and agricultural land, making settlement there a direct threat to the residents' livelihood. In northern Hebron, the organization monitored the presence of settlers on a vital street near the town of Sa'ir, stating that four settlers stormed the Wadi Sa'ir area northeast of Hebron and carried out provocative acts, including attempting to set fire to agricultural lands.
Meanwhile, the occupation carried out a series of incursions in the West Bank; in Hebron, a Palestinian boy was shot and dozens suffered from tear gas inhalation in the al-Arroub camp, and two paramedics, Hamoudah Allan and Salah Zama'ra, were assaulted in the town of Halhul, causing them to sustain bruises.
The army arrested the young man Ahmad Muhammad Masalmeh from the town of Beit Awwa southwest of the city. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported in a brief statement that its teams "transferred three injuries to the hospital as a result of an assault by settlers in the (area of) Masafer Yatta south of Hebron, including two foreign activists."
Osama Makhamra, an activist monitoring Israeli violations south of Hebron, stated that a number of settlers attacked the "Fakheit" gathering in Masafer Yatta, assaulting Palestinians and their property.
He added that the assault resulted in a woman sustaining bruises, along with damage to property including sheep feed. According to the Palestinian Anti-Wall and Settlement Commission, August alone witnessed 431 attacks by settlers against Palestinians and their property in the West Bank, ranging from armed attacks to land leveling and uprooting trees.
The United Nations confirms that Israeli settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories is illegal and undermines the prospects for a two-state solution, while the escalation of the occupation in the West Bank continues alongside the war in Gaza, which has resulted since October 7, 2023, in over 65,000 deaths and 167,000 injuries, most of whom are children and women, amid international accusations against Israel of committing genocide.
