The United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese has raised concerns about the potential for Gaza's tragedy to be repeated in the occupied West Bank. Albanese warned on Tuesday that "Israel’s" genocidal violence might extend beyond Gaza to the entire occupied territory.

“Apartheid Israel is targeting Gaza and the West Bank simultaneously, as part of an overall process of elimination, replacement and territorial expansion,” Albanese stated.

“The writing is on the wall, and we cannot continue to ignore it. There is mounting evidence that no Palestinian is safe under Israel’s unfettered control. While this was also true before Hamas’ attack on 7 October, the risk has since intensified,” she further added.

She cautioned that the longstanding impunity granted to "Israel" is facilitating the "de-Palestinisation" of the occupied territory, leaving Palestinians vulnerable to forces intent on their elimination as a national group. Earlier in August, Albanese had emphasized that "Israel's" crimes had been documented and called for accountability.

Palestinian child killed, father injured by Israeli fire in Tulkarm camp

In Tulkarm Refugee Camp, a child was killed early this Tuesday by Israeli gunfire amid ongoing raids. Medical sources identified the child as Muhammad Kanaan, who was shot in the head by Israeli snipers while with his father in a camp neighborhood. Both were taken to Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, where the father also sustained injuries.

The IOF continue their raid in Tulkarm, intensifying the siege and positioning snipers on high buildings around the camp. Surveillance drones persistently patrol at low altitudes over the area.

Israeli troops also raided the Izbat al-Jarad area east of Tulkarm, storming a house after surrounding it, deploying sound bombs, and interrogating residents, with no arrests reported. Additionally, they surrounded the Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarm.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that IOF have also invaded the Balata Refugee Camp, the town of Salem east of Nablus, and the city of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank.

In al-Khalil, Israeli forces conducted raids and arrests in the towns of Beit Fajjar, Sa'ir, and Idna, and also stormed the town of Silwan south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Since last Wednesday, the Israeli aggression in the West Bank has resulted in 31 deaths, including 18 in Jenin, 6 in Tulkarm, 4 in Tubas, and 3 in al-Khalil, bringing the total number of martyrs in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, to 683.
