Attacks and Violations
Alongside the extermination war Israel has been waging on Gaza since October 7, 2023, Israel has intensified its attacks and violations against Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. These actions have resulted in the deaths of 807 Palestinians and injuries to nearly 6,450, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
In Gaza, the ongoing Israeli extermination campaign, supported by the United States for 429 consecutive days, has caused the deaths and injuries of more than 150,000 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children. Additionally, over 11,000 people remain missing amid widespread destruction and famine, which has claimed the lives of dozens of children and elderly individuals.
On Saturday, two Israeli soldiers were injured, one critically, in a ramming attack near Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank.
In a statement, the Israeli military said the perpetrator fled the scene, prompting the forces to close roads in the area, impose a military blockade on Hebron, and launch a manhunt for the attacker.
