Israeli occupation forces stormed the cities of Halhul, Dura, and multiple towns in al-Khalil in the West Bank, and fired stun grenades and poisonous gas, while local sources reported that confrontations erupted between Palestinian youths and occupation forces in the al-Arroub refugee camp, also located in al-Khalil.

The occupation forces conducted patrols in different parts of the city before withdrawing towards the military tower in the Khursa neighborhood, south of the city.

Earlier, a Palestinian youth was seriously wounded when the occupation forces stormed Anabta village in Tulkarm, where he was shot in the head with live ammunition.

The occupation forces stormed the village with a number of vehicles, and armed confrontations erupted between the occupation forces and Palestinian Resistance fighters who confronted the invasion.

In Nablus, a Palestinian child was also injured by Israeli occupation forces when they stormed Qusra village.

In the same context, a number of settlers stormed the southern area of the town and provoked the residents, which led to confrontations with Palestinian youths, after which IOF vehicles stormed the village amid heavy fire, which resulted in the injury of a 14-year-old Palestinian child.

Yet another Israeli war crime, eight-year-old killed in West Bank in 2023

Several experts have accused "Israel" of perpetrating yet another war crime by shooting innocent children playing in the streets of the West Bank last year.

On November 29, 2023, Adam, eight years old, and Basil, 15, were killed while playing on the road. Footage showed an Israeli occupation convoy passing by Adam, standing in the street with his elder brother, Baha, 14, and nine other minors. 

CCTV cameras, which offered a nearly 360-degree picture of what transpired next, caught the moment when gunfire broke out, with 11 rounds fired, striking automobiles and neighboring buildings. Tragically, two shots struck Basil in the chest, and one wounded Adam as he tried to leave the scene.

Baha described the traumatic experience of being in shock carrying his younger brother to safety while anxiously calling for an ambulance.

Unsurprisingly, the IOF, which have killed thousands of children, justify their killing of Basil on the grounds of him carrying an explosive.

A committee of specialists has unanimously called for a probe into the event, with some alleging obvious violations of international law.

The evidence has prompted the UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, Ben Saul, to express reservations about the legality of using lethal force in Basil's case, claiming that Adam's killing appears to be a "war crime."

Another legal expert, Lawrence Hill-Cawthorne, condemned the IOF's use of lethal force as "indiscriminate".
