Occupation forces blow up residential blocks in Khan Yunis and injure a young man north of Jerusalem

The Israeli occupation army escalated its military operations in the southern Gaza Strip, where engineering units on Friday carried out large-scale demolition operations targeting entire residential blocks in the city of Khan Yunis. Field sources reported that massive explosions rocked the area due to the destruction of buildings, leading to the leveling of residential neighborhoods and their transformation into rubble in record time.

This systematic military strategy aims to create what are called 'buffer zones' or open areas, to secure the positions of Israeli military vehicles and prevent any targeting operations that might originate from among the rubble or existing buildings. Through this policy, the occupation forces seek to change the geographical features of the area and strip it of any urban cover that resistance factions might use in their defensive operations.

Regarding confrontations in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian Red Crescent crews reported that a young man was injured by occupation forces' bullets during a violent raid on the town of Al-Ram, located north of Jerusalem. Clashes erupted between young men and occupation forces, who fired live ammunition and tear gas canisters heavily, resulting in injuries among citizens who confronted the raid.

These attacks in the West Bank are part of a widespread repressive campaign launched by the occupation authorities to impose a policy of deterrence and intimidate peaceful residents through repeated night raids. Daily life in West Bank cities and towns is turning into an open battlefield amid ongoing arbitrary arrests and direct targeting of civilians, which increases the state of tension and field escalation.

These successive explosions aim to level entire neighborhoods to create open areas that ensure the protection of the occupier's positions.
