Occupation forces injure 4 Palestinians in Nablus and arrest a freed female prisoner from Ramallah

The Israeli occupation forces shot and wounded 4 Palestinians during their raid on the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank. The Israeli army also re-arrested a girl from the Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate in the central West Bank who had been released as part of the exchange batches that took place last November, bringing the number of re-arrested Palestinians to 24.

The occupation forces stormed Nablus and raided a residential building on Al-Mureij Street in Rafidia, and arrested a woman and her son, then released them.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent said that the occupation patrols were exposed to gunfire from Palestinian resistance fighters before withdrawing from the city.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that 4 Palestinians were injured by the occupation forces’ bullets, following clashes between resistance fighters and the occupation forces during the storming operation. Al Jazeera’s correspondent said that the occupation forces arrested a Palestinian youth before withdrawing from the city.

The occupation forces also demolished a house and a sheep pen in the village of Furush Beit Dajan, east of Nablus, at dawn today, without prior notice.

Palestinian activists said that the occupation forces stormed the village accompanied by two bulldozers, and began demolishing a one-story house licensed since the 1980s. The house houses about 22 people, most of them children.

In the same context, settlers stormed a Palestinian house at dawn today in the Wadi al-Awar area in the village of Birin, east of Hebron, in the southern West Bank, and set it on fire, causing significant damage.

Last week, settlers set fire to a nearby house. This coincides with the settlers continuing their attacks on the residents of the village of Birin and raiding their homes.

In conjunction with its devastating war on Gaza since October 7, the Israeli occupation has expanded its operations in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, while settlers have escalated their attacks on Palestinians there, leaving 635 martyrs and about 5,400 wounded, according to official Palestinian data.

On another note, the Palestinian Prisoners Club said in a statement that “the occupation forces re-arrested the student at Birzeit University and the former prisoner released in the exchange batches, Dania Hanatsheh.

Hanatsheh was arrested from her family home in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate in the central West Bank, according to the same statement.

With the arrest of Hanatsheh, the number of arrests among the released prisoners who were released during the exchange batches rises to 24, 18 of whom the occupation kept in detention, including 6 young men, 6 female prisoners, in addition to 6 others who are over the age of childhood, after their release.

The Prisoners Club said, “Some of those re-arrested were transferred to administrative detention, including children, in addition to two female prisoners.”

Since the start of the war of extermination on October 7, the occupation has escalated its targeting of former prisoners in daily arrest campaigns, according to the same source.

It is noteworthy that the number of female and child prisoners released in exchange deals with the resistance that took place last November amounted to 240.

With American support, Israel waged a devastating war on Gaza, leaving more than 132,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amidst massive destruction and deadly famine.
