In the northern West Bank, a young Palestinian man was arrested after being summoned for questioning at Salem military camp near Jenin. His arrest follows a pattern of increased raids and summonses in the Tubas area, which human rights groups have condemned.
Separately, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that a 35-year-old man was critically wounded by Israeli gunfire in the chest while attempting to cross the separation wall in al-Ram, northeast of Jerusalem. Earlier the same day, another man was shot in the foot near the same barrier.
Since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023, the West Bank has seen a sharp rise in violence. According to Palestinian organizations, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 1,105 Palestinians, wounded around 11,000, and detained nearly 21,000.[]
