  "account": "Israeli settlers and the Israeli military have conducted ongoing raids in the occupied West Bank, resulting in incidents of tear gas shelling, arrests, and theft of Palestinian property. Wafa reported that during a military operation in the cities of Tubas and Tayasir, 11 Palestinians, including four children, experienced suffocation due to tear gas smoke inhalation. The injured were treated by the Palestine Red Crescent Society. Israeli settlers allegedly stole property from a Palestinian community near the village of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah. Israeli forces also raided the city of Qalqilya and surrounded the Thabet Roundabout in Tulkarm, leading to heavy gunfire and the deployment of stun and illumination grenades. A young man was detained during the raid in Tulkarm, while recently released Palestinian Awda Hamayel was apprehended after an attack on his home in Beita. In another incident, Israeli settlers entered Hait Al-Miramya near Abu Falah and seized Palestinian property.",
