Palestinian Youths Injured in Israeli West Bank Raids and Settler Attacks
Several Palestinian youths were injured during Israeli military operations and settler violence in the occupied West Bank on Friday evening. In Birzeit, north of Ramallah, a 21-year-old man was wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets fired by Israeli forces at close range, sustaining injuries to his foot and back. The Palestine Red Crescent Society provided medical treatment for the victim. Simultaneously, during a raid on the Al-Arroub refugee camp, another young man was injured by live fire and subsequently detained by Israeli troops, according to local sources. Additionally, reports from the Tal Ma’in area south of Hebron indicated that a shepherd was injured after Israeli settlers attacked citizens with pepper spray. These incidents occur amidst a reported surge in settler violence and follow the Israeli cabinet's secret approval of a record number of new settlements in the region. The European Union strongly condemned this expansion on Friday, labeling it a breach of international law. The escalating tensions highlight ongoing conflicts in areas such as Sa-Nur, where new mobile housing units have been established.
