ISTANBUL

One Palestinian was killed and two others injured by Israeli fire, as army forces detonated a home and arrested 10 Palestinians in military raids in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, medics said.

A Health Ministry statement said a 42-year-old man died of injuries sustained from Israeli fire in Al-Ain refugee camp in western Nablus in the northern West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said two more people were injured by Israeli forces in the same camp.

The official news agency Wafa reported that Israeli forces raided the camp and besieged a home amid gunfire.

The agency said Israeli forces also raided dozens of homes and blew up a residential apartment in Tubas in the northern West Bank before withdrawing from the area.

A similar raid was staged in the same city on Saturday, with Israeli forces closing its southern entrance with barriers and carrying out bulldozing operations in the city center.

According to Kamal Bani Odeh, the director of the Palestinian Prisoner Society in Tubas, the army held several residents for field interrogation in the city.

Also in Nablus, six Palestinians were detained by the Israeli army after raids on their homes, Wafa said.

Four more people, including parliamentarian and academic Omar Abd al-Razaq, were taken into Israeli custody in the northern city of Salfit.

Meanwhile, illegal Israeli settlers, under the protection of the army, attacked Palestinian farmers while harvesting olive trees in Ramallah and Nablus and burned two vehicles, witnesses said.

According to data by the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, illegal Israeli settlers carried out 7,154 assaults on Palestinians and their properties in the occupied West Bank over the course of two years, which resulted in the death of 34 Palestinians and forced migration of 33 Bedouin communities.

Local authorities said that more than 1,051 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, around 10,300 wounded, and over 20,000 arrested, including 1,600 children, since the Gaza war began two years ago.

In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
