At least two Palestinians have been injured when Israeli military forces opened fire on local residents while carrying out overnight raids in several towns and villages of the West Bank, as they ramped up their deadly raids across the occupied territory.

The official Palestinian WAFA news agency reported that Israeli soldiers shot a young man in the hand in the town of Anabta, located 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) east of Tulkarem, and arrested several other youngsters after assaulting them.

In another incident reported in the al-Issawiya neighborhood of the Israeli-occupied East al-Quds, another young Palestinian man was injured by Israeli forces before being arrested.

Israeli occupation forces also stormed several neighborhoods in the cities of Ramallah and al-Bireh early on Tuesday and broke into several homes.

Security sources reported that the occupation forces raided the home of Issam al-Froukh, a freed Palestinian deported to Gaza, in the Ein Munjed neighborhood of Ramallah, and ransacked its contents. Israeli forces also raided the Sateh Marhaba neighborhood in Bireh.

The sources added that Israeli troops raided more than seven homes during their attack on the village of Deir Ibzi’, west of Ramallah, and subjected their owners to field investigations.

Meanwhile, an Israeli army force raided the village of Ein Arik and the town of Ni’lin.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has intensified its aggression towards Palestinians throughout the West Bank, following the initiation of a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. 

Hundreds of Palestinians have lost their lives since the beginning of the war, and thousands more have sustained injuries due to actions taken by Israeli settlers or military forces across the occupied territory.

Over 700,000 Israelis reside in more than 230 settlements established since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East al-Quds.

The global community considers the settlements to be unlawful according to international law and the Geneva Conventions, as they are built on occupied territories.
