Israeli Raids Near Nablus Leave 11 Palestinians Injured, Including Four Children.

Israeli Raids Near Nablus Leave 11 Palestinians Injured, Including Four Children.

At least 11 Palestinians, including four children, were injured after Israeli soldiers and settlers carried out raids in areas near Nablus in the occupied West Bank on Friday.

According to medical officials, Israeli forces fired live ammunition, stun grenades and tear gas during the operation in the Junaid neighbourhood of Nablus. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said one of the injured suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach.

Palestinian media also reported that Israeli forces arrested at least 10 people in several locations, including Nablus, Tal, Salem and Bethlehem.

Videos verified by Al Jazeera showed Israeli soldiers deployed in large numbers in the town of Tal. Witnesses said settlers, accompanied by soldiers, entered parts of Tal and nearby areas before later withdrawing.

In a statement, the Israeli military said Israeli civilians had entered Area A of the occupied West Bank, where Israeli citizens are prohibited from entering under Israeli law. The military added that the civilians later left the Nablus area and said it had also received reports of vandalism at a Palestinian cemetery.

The latest violence comes a day after Israeli forces reportedly seized four Palestinian homes in Tal and converted them into military positions. Tensions have remained high following a deadly settler attack on the town last week that left four Palestinians dead and several others injured.

Israeli military raids and settler attacks have intensified across the occupied West Bank in recent weeks, with additional arrests and confrontations reported in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Tulkarem and Salfit.
