The Ministry of Health announced on Saturday evening that three Palestinian civilians had been killed in the West Bank, since dawn on Friday, bringing the number of civilians killed in the West Bank since the seventh of October 2023 to 463 killed, in addition to the injury of more than 4,800 Palestinians. This is separate from the over 34,000 Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since October 7th – including nearly 15,000 children.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported the murder of two young men, Mohammad Issam Shahmmawi (22 years old) and Mohammad Rasoul Daraghmeh (26 years old) by the Israeli occupation forces in Tubas, and Jihad Afif Sidqi Abu Alia (25 years old) in the village of Al-Mughayir, northeast of Ramallah, following an attack by Israeli paramilitary colonizers and Israeli occupation forces on the village, on Friday.
According to the Israeli paper Ha’aretz, a 14-year-old Israeli boy, Binyamin Ahimeir, went missing on Friday morning, after he went out to herd sheep near the colony of Malachei HaShalom in the West Bank, where he and his family lived on stolen Palestinian land. His body was later found by a police drone, and Israeli authorities declared it a ‘terror attack’.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health indicated that hospitals in the West Bank dealt with more than 55 injuries, most of whom were wounded by the Israeli occupation forces and the Israeli paramilitary settlers in the neighborhood, including about 10 serious injuries, in addition to dozens of injuries that ambulance crews dealt with in the field.
Since Friday, the Israeli paramilitary settlers continued their terrorist attacks, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, against several Palestinian villages and towns, especially in southern Nablus and northeast of Ramallah, in conjunction with the escalation of the incursions of the Israeli occupation forces into cities, villages and camps in the various northern governorates.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that its teams dealt with 10 injuries in Nablus governorate on Saturday as a result of the attack of settlers under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces on the homes of citizens in the villages and towns of: Duma, Burin, Qaryut, Qusra, and Beit Furik.
Red Crescent teams dealt with 11 injuries in Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate, as a result of the attack by Israeli paramilitary settlers under the protection of Israeli occupation forces for the second consecutive day on several villages and towns, including: Al-Mughayir, Beitin, Deir Jarir, Al-Mazra’a Al-Gharbiya, Silwad, Ein Sinia, Abu Falah, Attara and Cyrenaica.
Israeli occupation forces obstructed the access of ambulances belonging to the Society to the wounded and injured, endangering the lives of the wounded and delays their access to emergency health care as soon as necessary. The ongoing prevention of ambulance crews is also a major challenge in responding to humanitarian situations and injuries.
On Sunday, Israeli paramilitary colonizers again attacked vehicles near the villages of Al-Auja, Fasayel, Nabi Musa, and Al-Ma’arajat, in Jericho and the Jordan Valley.
Security sources and eyewitnesses told Wafa news agency that the settlers deployed in the triangle area of the town of Al-Auja, and a junction near Fasayel, and closed a junction road in Wadi al-Qelt, and the Prophet Musa road, and obstructed the passage of vehicles through the sea surface road.
They added that the settlers gathered in the area of al-Ma’arijat, specifically near the Taybeh junction on the road between the cities of Jericho and Ramallah, and attacked citizens’ vehicles.
