In the same context, Anadolu Ajansı said Palestinians were injured by asphyxia from inhaling tear gas released by an Israeli force during its raid into the town of Idhna, west of Hebron.

Anadolu Ajansı also said Israeli forces raided the Abu Jahisha family’s diwan in Idhna and detained several youths.

Anadolu Ajansı added that since October 2023, assaults by the army and settlers in the West Bank have killed at least 1,154 Palestinians and injured about 11,750, alongside the detention of around 22,000, according to official Palestinian data.

The Arab-language outlet التلفزيون العربي said Israeli forces also warned of demolition in Hebron, reporting that occupation forces notified the demolition of five homes and a sheep pen.

التلفزيون العربي cited WAFA as saying the Israeli army arrested resident Shadi Khalil Ghith and his wife Doaa Khidr Nassar from their home in the Al-Matina area of Yatta, south of Hebron.

In a separate incident described by France 24, Israeli security forces opened fire on a car at a checkpoint in the village of Tammoun, killing Ali Khaled Bani Odeh and his wife Waad and their children Mohammad and Othman, aged five and seven.

France 24 reported that Reuters quoted Khaled, 12, saying, "We were shot at directly; we did not know where it came from. Everyone in the car was martyred, except my brother Mustafa and me," describing what he said happened after the shooting.

France 24 also said the Israeli army and police stated the events occurred during a joint operation by border police and soldiers trying "to arrest people suspected of being involved in terrorist activities against the security forces".

A weekly update by Agence Media Palestine said the UN recorded more than 1,800 settler attacks in 2025, about five per day on average, and said the figure was the highest ever recorded by the UN with a ninth consecutive annual increase.

Agence Media Palestine reported that UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said at a press conference that more than 37,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced over the past year, largely due to Israeli military operations conducted in refugee camps.

Agence Media Palestine said OCHA also reports more than 1,800 Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians in the north of the West Bank, equivalent to five attacks per day, and warned that the attacks caused casualties and damage in about 280 communities.

Agence Media Palestine added that in total, 240 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 55 children, were killed by Israeli forces or settlers in 2025, and it said Israel authorized bearing arms for 18 illegal settlements in the West Bank.
