A Palestinian girl, Bana Bakr, was tragically killed by Israeli occupation forces while she was inside her home in Qaryut, near Nablus. This incident has sparked outrage and highlighted the ongoing violence in the region. Eyewitnesses reported that clashes erupted when settlers attacked Palestinian homes, leading to the Israeli army firing live ammunition. The Israeli military claimed they were responding to clashes but faced criticism for their actions.
In related developments, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has called for the West Bank to be included in the objectives of the ongoing military operations. He expressed concerns over increasing Iranian activity and the need to combat what he termed terrorist organizations in the West Bank. This call comes amidst a broader Israeli military campaign that has resulted in numerous Palestinian casualties and significant destruction.
The situation in the West Bank remains tense as the Israeli army continues its operations, claiming to target resistance cells. The operations have led to the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians since the escalation began. Palestinian groups have vowed to continue their resistance, indicating that the cycle of violence shows no signs of abating.
