Six Palestinians, including two medics, wounded in West Bank attacks by forces and settlers
Israeli forces and settlers injured six Palestinians, among them two paramedics, during incidents in Nablus and Bethlehem governorates.
A series of confrontations across the West Bank’s Nablus and Bethlehem governorates resulted in six Palestinians being injured, two of whom are paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society. Authorities reported that a man assaulted by Israeli forces in Beit Furik was subsequently detained, prompting the Red Crescent to seek assistance from the International Committee of the Red Cross for his care. In the same locality, settlers damaged a Palestinian-owned vehicle.
Further south, three residents in the Abu Njeim area of Bethlehem suffered injuries after settlers targeted their cars, and an ambulance responding to nearby casualties was pelted with stones, injuring two paramedics and damaging the vehicle. These incidents follow a recent two-day raid on the Qalandiya refugee camp that left 48 people wounded, part of a broader pattern of over 11,000 attacks documented in the West Bank since January.
Why it matters
The attacks highlight escalating violence against civilians and medical workers in the occupied West Bank.
