Two Palestinian youths were injured yesterday morning when Israeli occupation forces opened fire near the separation fence east of Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip.
A number of Palestinian civilians suffered from tear gas inhalation during the Israeli incursion into Beit Ummar, north of Hebron.
The media activist in Beit Ummar, Mohammed Awad, told the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) that the Israeli occupation forces stormed the Al-Dahr area near the settlement of Karmi Tzur, which lies on the lands of Palestinian citizens in the north, and fired tear gas canisters at the citizens and their houses. A number of them suffocated and were field-treated.
In addition, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry called for urgent international action to protect the Palestinian people from the occupation and its settlers. In a statement yesterday, the Foreign Ministry condemned the continued attacks by the Israeli occupation, its police, its various agencies and armed settler militias against unarmed Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem and its environs.
She pointed out that she considered the escalation of the occupation and its settlers against the Palestinian people a serious danger, and considered this escalation to be a prelude to terrorist operations and large-scale displacement crimes, warning of the danger of dealing with these attacks as normal things that are repeated daily and do not require regional and international reactions.
The ministry affirmed that it is following with great interest this Israeli escalation, which targets citizens, their land, their property, their livelihoods, their holy sites and their resilience, and makes every effort to expose these attacks at all levels.
The ministry stressed that the silence of the international community encourages the occupation to commit more attacks and violations, and the statement came after the Israeli occupation forces suppressed peaceful marches on the borders of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the day before yesterday, and settlers attacked yesterday, olive harvesters and foreign solidarity in The villages of Al-Jaba'a, southwest of Bethlehem and Burin, south of Nablus, with the participation and protection of the Israeli army.
