Several Palestinians injured in Israeli raids on West Bank amid warnings of 'humanitarian crisis'

The ongoing Israeli raids have left several more Palestinians injured amid a humanitarian crisis in the West Bank.

Israeli forces stormed the Old City of Nablus on Sunday amid intensified raids across the West Bank, arresting numerous citizens.

Israeli forces reportedly raided homes, positioned snipers on rooftops, and sparked clashes with residents.

Seven Palestinians were injured during the ongoing Israeli raids on Nablus, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported. It said two of the injured suffered moderate to serious injuries.

Local sources mentioned hearing explosions and gunfire in the Old City, with Israeli reconnaissance planes frequently flying overhead.

"The aggression has led to a severe humanitarian crisis, with more than 470 establishments and homes destroyed, essential services halted, water and electricity cut off, and shortages in food supplies," the Media Committee in Jenin Camp reported.

Four killed as Israeli forces expand deadly raids in occupied West Bank

Israeli forces have killed four Palestinians during raids in the occupied West Bank, according to authorities.

"The occupation is preventing water from reaching 4 hospitals in Jenin, depriving 35 percent of the residents of water," it said

"The [Israeli] occupation's aggression against Jenin and its camp continues for the 27th day, resulting in the martyrdom of 25 citizens, the displacement of more than 20,000 people, and the destruction of infrastructure and homes," it added.

Additional military reinforcements, including demolition vehicles, have been deployed by the Israeli forces across various areas in the occupied West Bank.

"The occupation has deployed military reinforcements to the camp, carried out heavy shelling, and fired live ammunition near the Tiger Station," the report said.

"More than 150 citizens have been arrested, 153 raids have been carried out, and 14 airstrikes have been executed," it added.

The Media Committee said the Israeli forces destroyed the home of martyr Amjad al-Fayed and the homes of his martyr uncles in the camp.

Hamas releases three Israeli captives for 369 Palestinian prisoners

Gaza resistance fighters have handed three Israeli captives over to the Red Cross in an exchange for 369 Palestinians to be released later in the latest such swap under an ongoing truce deal.

In Jenin, fighters from the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, detonated explosive devices targeting Israeli vehicles in the Wadi Al-Silah Al-Harithiya axis.

The Israeli occupation forces raided the homes of Palestinian prisoners, including Nael Obeid, recently released as part of an exchange deal, leading to clashes with Palestinians. In addition, they arrested the sister of Mahmoud Al-Ghalith, also released in the sixth batch of prisoner exchanges.

Meanwhile, Israeli settler attacks are increasing as the occupation continues its assault on Palestinian civilians.

Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank escalated, with attacks on Palestinian villages, including Jalud and Umm Safa. In Jalud, settlers burned a house, and in Umm Safa, they opened fire on Palestinian homes. Israeli forces were present in both incidents, using sound bombs and tear gas to suppress Palestinian resistance.

In the southern West Bank, illegal Israeli settlers targeted vehicles and tents in the Minya desert southeast of Bethlehem, damaging a waste transport vehicle.

Since the beginning of the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, the Israeli forces and settlers have also intensified assaults in the West Bank.

Some 14,500 people have been arrested, according to Palestinian officials. At least 916 Palestinians have been killed and 7,000 more injured since then.

MSF reports deterioration of healthcare in occupied West Bank

A recently released report by ‘Doctors Without Borders’ (MSF) highlights the deterioration of healthcare services in the occupied West Bank.

During the 15 months of the Israeli regime’s genocidal war against the people of Gaza more than 48,000 Palestinians were killed, most of them children and women.

Amid severe shortages of essential resources such as food, water, and medical supplies due to deliberate restrictions, the Israeli war on Gaza has forcibly displaced almost all of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents.

On January 15, the Israeli regime, having failed to achieve any of its war objectives including the “elimination” of Hamas or the release of captives, was forced to agree to a ceasefire deal with the Gaza-based resistance movement.
