West Bank.. 4 Palestinians injured in an attack by the Israeli army west of Nablus

Four Palestinians were injured on Friday due to assaults carried out by the Israeli army through beatings and live fire near military checkpoints in the city of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent stated in a statement that its teams "dealt with three injuries resulting from a beating at the Deir Sharaf checkpoint west of Nablus, and they were transferred to the hospital."

Meanwhile, the official Palestinian news agency "Wafa" reported, citing the Red Crescent, that a fourth Palestinian was injured by live fire at the Al-Murabba military checkpoint southwest of Nablus, without immediate knowledge of the nature of his injury.

The director of the ambulance and emergency center of the Red Crescent in Nablus, Amin Ahmad, reported that the ambulance teams moved after receiving a report about Israeli soldiers firing at a citizen near the Al-Murabba checkpoint, but the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint prevented them from reaching the injured person, according to the agency.

In repeated incidents, Palestinians are subjected to beatings, humiliation, and searches while passing through Israeli military checkpoints in the West Bank.

The number of permanent and temporary checkpoints, including gates and military barriers that divide Palestinian territories and impose restrictions on the movement of individuals and goods, is 898, including more than 156 iron gates established after October 7, 2023, according to data from the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.

The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that during August, there were about 1,613 assaults committed by the Israeli army and settlers against Palestinians and their properties in the West Bank, including 431 assaults committed by settlers.

In preparation for annexing the West Bank, Israel has intensified its crimes since the start of its war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, including the demolition of homes, the displacement of Palestinian citizens, and the expansion and acceleration of settlement construction.

The annexation of the West Bank by Israel would eliminate the possibility of establishing an independent Palestinian state, in implementation of the two-state solution principle (Palestinian and Israeli), as stipulated by international resolutions.

Alongside the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have killed at least 1,017 Palestinians and injured about 7,000 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 18,500, according to Palestinian data.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, which includes killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 64,300 deaths and 162,005 injuries among Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, over 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine that has killed 376 Palestinians, including 134 children.
