Israeli forces stormed several areas across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, forcibly evacuating Palestinian residents, impounding vehicles, and fatally shooting a young man near Nablus.

In the town of Beit Ummar, north of al-Khalil, Israeli troops carried out a raid, deploying heavily in residential areas. Meanwhile, in Tulkarm’s Nur Shams refugee camp, soldiers forced residents out of the Jabal al-Nasr area at iftar time, preventing some from breaking their fast in their homes.

Near the illegal Israeli settlement of Homesh, west of Nablus, Israeli forces shot and killed 21-year-old Mufid al-Kilani from the town of Silat al-Dhahr in Jenin. Details surrounding the incident remain unclear.

Additionally, Israeli troops set up multiple military checkpoints across the West Bank, detaining hundreds of Palestinian vehicles, causing significant delays as families attempted to return home for iftar.

Surging Israeli violence

The Israeli occupation forces and Israeli settlers launched 1,705 attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank last month, a recent study from the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission revealed.

The commission's director, Muayyed Shaaban, stated in the report released Monday that the IOF were involved in 1,475 of these attacks, while Israeli settlers carried out 230. Nablus witnessed most of the attacks with 300, followed by al-Khalil with 267, and Ramallah with 263 attacks.

Shaaban said Israeli settler attacks were most common in Nablus and al-Khalil, with 43 each, followed by Ramallah with 38 and al-Quds with 25 attacks.

These attacks comprised 68 cases of property destruction and theft, which affected vast swaths of Palestinian territory. 

Furthermore, settlers removed 642 trees, including 610 olive trees, primarily in al-Khalil (292), Jenin (250), and al-Quds (100).

The study also noted the deliberate targeting of the Arab al-Mleihat settlement northwest of Areeha, where settlers built a road around the region and set fire to the community mosque in an attempt to displace locals.

In February, Israeli occupation authorities also executed 79 demolitions, impacting 156 properties, including 109 inhabited homes.

The most serious demolitions were in al-Khalil, with 55 structures destroyed, followed by Jenin (26), al-Quds (19), and Salfit (15).

In addition, 93 demolition orders were issued, with the majority concentrated in Nablus (25), Tulkarm (24), al-Khalil (13), and Tubas (8).
