Israeli attack on Gaza kills two Palestinians

Israeli strikes on Palestinian territory persist despite a 'ceasefire' brokered by the United States.

During the past week, Israeli forces and settlers conducted numerous raids in the occupied West Bank, detaining several Palestinians and causing injuries to a few others. Reports from Wafa detail several incidents:

On Sunday, Israeli forces detained eight Palestinians in Jenin city and additional towns and villages across the governorate. In Bethlehem city, two children, aged 15 and 14, were taken into custody during a raid on their home. Throughout the West Bank, Israeli forces tightened military measures at the Atara checkpoint north of Ramallah, causing significant traffic disruptions for Palestinians.

In the occupied Jerusalem area, a Palestinian man was injured by Israeli gunfire in the Ras al-Amud area near Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli bulldozers began demolishing Palestinian-owned land in the Al-Mughayyir Village on Saturday evening, allowing easier movement for Israeli settlers. Settlers also attacked Palestinian homes in Yasuf village and seized a bulldozer belonging to a resident of Bidya town.

In Muthallath al-Shuhada, south of Jenin, Israeli forces stormed the village and detained a teenager and ransacked homes of his family members. A 68-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy sustained injuries during raids in Marka and other areas. Settlers attacked the outskirts of Burqa, east of Ramallah, throwing stones at homes and vehicles, damaging at least one car.

In East Jerusalem, a Palestinian man was forced to demolish five of his businesses due to threats of heavy municipal fines.
