On Thursday morning, the Israeli army conducted a significant operation in the West Bank, demolishing the home of Palestinian martyr Moamen Masalmeh in Dura, Hebron. This action follows Masalmeh's involvement in a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv five months prior, resulting in the death of an Israeli citizen. The Israeli forces executed the demolition after a lengthy raid, blocking access to the area and using explosives to destroy the house. The operation lasted over seven hours, showcasing the ongoing tensions in the region.
In addition to the demolition in Dura, Israeli forces intensified their operations in the West Bank, leading to multiple confrontations and injuries among Palestinians. Reports indicate that during a raid in Nablus, three Palestinians, including two children, were injured by gunfire. Clashes erupted between Palestinian resistance fighters and Israeli forces, highlighting the escalating violence in the area as the Israeli army continues its incursions into Palestinian territories.
The situation further deteriorated with reports of settler attacks against Palestinian civilians, including an incident near the Beit El checkpoint where a woman was injured. The frequency of these attacks has surged, contributing to a climate of fear and instability in the region. As of now, official Palestinian data indicates that since the onset of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there have been over 620 Palestinian deaths and thousands more injured or arrested, reflecting the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in the West Bank.
