Al-Jazeera correspondent said that the Israeli occupation forces stormed at dawn on Monday the village of Rummana, the birthplace of the perpetrators of the Elad operation near Tel Aviv, and arrested 4 young men, and the occupation forces executed 3 Palestinian youths on the ground in Jerusalem, Nablus and Bethlehem.
The occupation forces also raided other areas of the West Bank and arrested 6 young men from them.
And earlier yesterday evening, the occupation forces stormed the village of Rummana, west of Jenin, deployed military vehicles, and surrounded the homes of the families of Subhi Sbeihat and Asaad Al-Rifai, who they said had carried out the Elad operation, and deployed snipers on the roofs of a number of nearby residential buildings.
On Sunday, the Israeli government spokesman confirmed the arrest of the perpetrators of the operation.
Israeli security sources said that they arrested the two young men in a forest near the city.
Field executions
In yesterday's developments, sources in the Israeli occupation army said that a Palestinian youth was shot dead by a guard of Tekoa settlement in Bethlehem.
The sources said that a group of Palestinian youths tried to infiltrate the settlement, and a security guard noticed them and shot them, wounding one of them, and his death was announced later.
The sources added that 3 other young men who were with him fled the place, and the army searched for them in one of the villages adjacent to the settlement.
In Tulkarm, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement that a Palestinian youth was martyred near the Jabara military checkpoint, west of the city.
The occupation army had announced earlier that it had spotted a Palestinian who tried to cross the security fence near the checkpoint and shot him, which led to his injury and his subsequent transfer to an Israeli hospital before the Palestinian authorities reported his death.
In Bab al-Amoud Square in occupied Jerusalem, the occupation forces shot a Palestinian youth at a checkpoint, under the pretext of stabbing an Israeli officer, injuring him with moderate injuries.
A statement by the occupation police said that a force of them brought the young man to the checkpoint, claiming to be suspicious, and when he was searched, he drew a knife and stabbed the officer.
In turn, Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh called for urgent intervention from the international community to stop the Israeli field executions, the most recent of which was on Sunday against two Palestinian youths in the south and north of the occupied West Bank.
He added that the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation soldiers against the Palestinians require urgent intervention by the international community to stop the terrorism of the organized occupation and provide international protection for the Palestinian people.
Shtayyeh affirmed in a press statement that the doctrine of brutality tyrannizes the occupation soldiers who practice field executions, holding the occupation authorities fully responsible for the crimes.
Israeli threats
On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said that all decisions related to Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem will be taken by the government of Israel, which is the sovereign in the city, without any concern for external considerations, according to what Israeli government spokesman Ofir Gendelman reported.
Gendelman added in a tweet that Bennett rejects any foreign interference in Israeli decisions, and that Tel Aviv will continue to respect people of all religions in united Jerusalem, which constitutes the capital of only one state, which is Israel, as he put it.
On the other hand, the Palestinian presidency said that East Jerusalem, with its Islamic and Christian holy sites, is the eternal capital of the State of Palestine, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions.
The spokesman for the Palestinian presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, added that the League of Nations resolution of 1930 stipulates that the ownership of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Al-Buraq Wall and the square opposite it belongs to Muslims alone.
He considered that any Israeli attempts to legitimize its occupation of the lands of the State of Palestine, including East Jerusalem, are unsuccessful attempts, describing Bennett's talk about freedom of worship for all religions as misleading, as evidenced by the continuous incursions to Al-Aqsa, and the occupation authorities' obstruction of access to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
For his part, Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said that the occupation government has neither the right nor the decision in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa.
Al-Rishq added in a statement, that Bennett's statements are blatant about the sacred rights of the Palestinian people and the Hashemite Jordanian sponsorship of Al-Aqsa Mosque, considering these statements a desperate attempt to impose a reality that does not exist except in their dreams, as he put it.

Demolition of two houses in Nablus
In Nablus, Al-Jazeera Net correspondent Atef Daghlas said that the Israeli occupation forces demolished two houses in the village of Beit Dajan this morning, after storming the area with several military vehicles, including huge bulldozers.

This demolition comes in implementation of the decisions of the Israeli occupation and the extremist government of Naftali Bennett to double the punishment of the Palestinians after the escalation of the wave of guerrilla operations several weeks ago against the Israeli occupation, as the occupation government took decisions to pursue and arrest Palestinians to thwart any acts of resistance, as well as other decisions to speed up the demolition of the homes of the perpetrators and the demolition of other homes violation, according to their claim.
In the occupied interior, a group of extremist settlers, calling themselves "the price tag," sabotaged 17 vehicles belonging to Palestinian citizens, and wrote anti-Arab slogans in Jisr al-Zarqa, south of Haifa.
Eyewitnesses from the town reported that members of the settler gang stormed the Al-Najjar neighborhood in the southwestern region of the town at dawn today, damaged car tires and wrote racist anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab slogans on the walls. For its part, the Israeli police said that they opened an investigation after being summoned to the scene of the accident.
