Israeli media reported that a Palestinian driver carried out a ramming operation with a car against Israeli occupation soldiers near the village of Bani Naim, south of al-Khalil, seriously injuring two Israeli police officers.
The driver was arrested following the operation.
This comes amid IOF incursions into West Bank cities and despite severe measures taken by Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, such as erecting barriers at every entrance and exit, alongside their ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip.
IOF raid West Bank, carry out detentions amid fierce confrontations
Earlier, on Monday, Israeli occupation forces launched a series of raids, searches, and arrests in the occupied West Bank early Monday, encountering resistance from Palestinian fighters.
The raids are part of an ongoing campaign that includes the continued siege and incursion into the town of al-Mughayyir near Ramallah, now in its third consecutive day.
In northern al-Khalil, young Palestinians pelted an Israeli settlers' bus with stones near the Karmei Tzur settlement, causing damage to the vehicle.
Elsewhere, in Si'ir, Palestinian fighters confronted an Israeli raid, focusing their resistance in the central al-Ein area, where occupation forces fired live ammunition at civilians.
Similar confrontations erupted across other towns and villages in the West Bank. Israeli soldiers used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse protesters, who responded by hurling stones.
The Israeli siege on al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, has led to the suspension of school classes in the village due to the ongoing military presence and home raids. Local sources reported that occupation forces have turned several homes into military outposts after forcibly removing residents.
This coincided with the installation of military checkpoints by the occupation forces at the entrances to al-Khalil, located in the southern West Bank.
Israeli occupation forces further targeted Palestinians who got trapped in their vehicles at a military checkpoint set up at the western entrance to al-Khalil, resulting in several cases of suffocation.
Additionally, the Israeli occupation established military checkpoints at the northern entrances to al-Khalil, as well as at the entrances to the towns of Si'ir, Yatta, Dura, and Halhul, and at the entrances to the al-Fawwar and al-Arroub refugee camps.
