Israeli forces kill Palestinians in Gaza, carry out raids in West Bank | Israeli-Palestinian conflict News

The number of Palestinian deaths since the start of the truce in Gaza stands at 411, against a backdrop of almost daily Israeli violations.

Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian east of Gaza City as they continued their ceasefire violations and executed large-scale raids across the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Wafa news service reported Friday that Israeli forces opened fire on Uday al-Maqadma as he sat near the entrance to a school in Gaza. He was taken to hospital in critical condition and died from his injuries.

Israel carries out deadly attacks and places severe restrictions on aid to Gaza, where at least 411 Palestinians have been killed and 1,112 injured since the truce agreement began in October.

Wafa reported earlier this week that two Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli soldiers, also east of Gaza City, in the Shujayea neighborhood.

Israeli restrictions on vital humanitarian aid have also persisted in defiance of the ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian armed group Hamas, depriving displaced Palestinians of essential goods and temporary housing during a period of harsh conditions. winter storms.

The Gaza government’s media office said earlier this week that on average only 244 humanitarian trucks enter the Gaza Strip per day, far below the daily rate of 600 required by the truce agreement.

Attacks by Israeli settlers and raids by Israeli soldiers have also intensified in the occupied West Bank.

Wafa reported that a Palestinian municipal worker was injured after being attacked by a group of settlers outside Nablus on Friday, while Palestinian farmers who were trying to work on their land were arrested by Israeli forces east of Tubas.

Several Palestinians were also arrested in Israeli raids targeting the communities of Yatta and Beit Ummar near Hebron, including a woman, four children and an elderly man, who Palestinian activists said was arrested after settlers damaged the fence around his house.

Israeli authorities almost never hold settlers responsible for acts of violence against Palestinian communities.

Two people were also killed in northern Israel, where police and emergency authorities say a Palestinian from the occupied West Bank rammed his car into a crowd of people in the town of Beit She’an.

The attack comes a day after footage emerged showing an Israeli settler crushing a Palestinian praying on the side of a road in the occupied West Bank.

In addition to the violence against Palestinians, Israel also carries out its almost daily attacks in Lebanon, in violation of the ceasefire.

The United Nations peacekeeping forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said on Friday that they Again was the target of “heavy machine gun fire” from Israeli positions in southern Lebanon. UN forces said live ammunition and a grenade hit “nearby” a patrol inspecting a roadblock in the village of Bastara.

“UNIFIL had informed the [Israeli military] “We are informed in advance of activities in these areas, in accordance with the usual practice of patrolling sensitive areas close to the Blue Line,” the UN forces said in a statement.

“Attacks on or near peacekeepers constitute serious violations of Security Council Resolution 1701. We reiterate our call to [Israeli military] put an end to aggressive behavior and attacks against or near peacekeepers working for peace and stability along the Blue Line.
