In a shocking incident, a group of settlers attacked the Arab al-Kaabneh Elementary School in the West Bank, injuring seven Palestinians, including students and teachers. The attack, which involved physical abuse and the tying up of the school principal, highlights the escalating violence in the region amidst ongoing tensions. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported the injuries, while lawyer Hassan Malihat noted that the settlers continue to besiege the school and terrorize its students.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces have intensified their operations in the West Bank, conducting raids in cities like Hebron and Bethlehem. Reports indicate that clashes erupted in Deheishe refugee camp as Israeli forces deployed snipers on rooftops. The situation has been exacerbated by a recent drone bombing that resulted in the death of a young Palestinian man in Tubas, further fueling anger and resistance among the local population.
The Israeli Army Radio announced the arrest of ten family members connected to a recent stabbing incident in occupied Jerusalem, adding to the growing number of arrests in the West Bank. Since the onset of the Gaza conflict on October 7, the Israeli military and settlers have ramped up their assaults on Palestinian citizens, leading to a staggering toll of 704 Palestinians killed and around 5,700 injured, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. This surge in violence comes amidst a devastating war on Gaza, supported by the United States, which has resulted in countless casualties and widespread destruction.
