In the southern West Bank, Israeli occupation forces conducted multiple incursions into al-Khalil and Beit Lahm. They entered the Ras al-Joura area in the city of al-Khalil and the towns of Surif, north of the city, and Yatta, in the south. During these operations, two young Palestinians were brutally shot.
Israeli forces conducted raids on the homes of the individuals involved in the tunnel checkpoint operation that occurred in occupied al-Quds in mid-November. As a result of the raids, the homes of the martyrs Abdul Qadir al-Qawasmi, Nasrallah al-Qawasmi, and Hassan Qafisha in the city of al-Khalil were targeted.
On Friday, Israeli media reported a car ramming operation in a settlement near south al-Khalil in the occupied West Bank, which left several Israeli occupation soldiers injured. Israeli medics noted that four soldiers were transferred to the Israeli Soroka Medical Center, one of whom was in moderate to critical condition.
It is noteworthy that dozens of Palestinian worshipers suffered from suffocation following an assault by the Israeli occupation forces in the Wadi al-Joz neighborhood of occupied al-Quds as Palestinians were banned from al-Aqsa Mosque.
Local media reported that the occupation forces banned worshipers from reaching the Holy al-Aqsa Mosque as part of the occupation's policy against Palestinians in occupied Palestine. Refusing to be subjugated to the Judaization attempts of al-Quds, Palestinians then performed prayers in the Wadi al-Joz neighborhood adjacent to the occupied Old City.
