Child flees as Israeli settlers hijack car during pogrom

Israeli settlers have placed dozens of Israeli flags at the entrance of a Palestinian cafe in the West Bank village of Luban al-Sharqiya, according to Al-Monitor. The cafe's owner described the act as intimidation. The cafe is located along a main traffic route in the West Bank.

In a separate incident, Israeli forces and settlers injured 19 Palestinians, including a child who was shot in the leg, during raids in several West Bank areas, as reported by Ajel English. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society provided medical care to those affected.

There was no apparent connection between the two incidents. Haaretz reported on a separate event involving the IDF, stating that operatives killed in Gaza City included a commander in the rocket unit of Palestinian Islamic Jihad's military wing, a member of the group's military wing, and a member of Hamas' military wing.
