In a report published on Monday, the Israeli human rights group described the situation of the three million Palestinians who live in the territory occupied by Israel since 1967 as 'apartheid.' The organization argues that violence by Jewish settlers, which has intensified in recent months, is only the most visible part of a 'political system' aimed at 'erasing the Palestinian presence.'

A young Palestinian man was injured by Israeli gunfire and his car was set on fire in the town of Beit Ula, west of Hebron, as reported by Middle East Eye. Two Palestinians, Yousef Naeem Sabarneh and Ziad Badawi Hamdan, were also detained by Israeli forces.
