Widespread arrests in the West Bank

Local sources reported that dozens of Palestinians suffered from suffocation in the West Bank after Israeli occupation forces fired live ammunition, sound bombs, and tear gas during their raids on the towns of Sa’ir and Shuyukh, northeast of Hebron in the West Bank.

They added that settlers uprooted and vandalized olive trees in the southern Hebron Governorate today and attacked the Arab al-Malihat community, north of Jericho.

Local media reported that Israeli occupation forces raided several areas in the two towns, amid clashes with residents. They conducted patrols in the towns, set up several checkpoints, and searched Palestinian vehicles.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that five Palestinians were injured in a settler attack on a community east of Ramallah, adding that seven others were injured in an assault by settlers in the village of al-Minya, near Bethlehem in the West Bank.
