Al-Bireh Raid Injures
A young Palestinian man was injured on Wednesday night after being severely beaten by Israeli occupation forces during a military raid on the city of Al-Bireh, according to local sources cited by WAFA.
WAFA said Israeli occupation forces stormed several areas in Al-Bireh and assaulted one of the young men, causing him injuries.
In a related development, WAFA reported that Israeli forces raided the village of Surda, north of Ramallah, and set up a flying military checkpoint, obstructing the movement of citizens and vehicles and causing severe traffic congestion.
WAFA also said Israeli occupation forces raided Ni’lin village, west of Ramallah, on Wednesday evening, sparking confrontations and firing heavy tear gas canisters, which caused several cases of suffocation among citizens.
West Bank Assaults Spread
SANA reported that Israeli occupation forces continued assaults on cities and towns across the West Bank, targeting Palestinians and their property through widespread incursions, demolitions, and arrests.
SANA said a Palestinian woman was injured when a vehicle belonging to the occupation forces rammed into her car in the village of Kefirt, west of Jenin, and that she was transferred to Jenin Governmental Hospital for treatment.
SANA added that a Palestinian youth was injured as a result of the occupation forces' beating during their raid of the city of al-Bireh, while two other youths were injured by occupation gunfire.
SANA also stated that occupation forces prevented ambulance crews from reaching the injured during their raid on the Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron.
Al-Aqsa Invasion and Checkpoints
WAFA said Israeli forces raided the village of Surda, north of Ramallah, and set up a flying military checkpoint that obstructed the movement of citizens and vehicles, causing severe traffic congestion.
In a separate report, WAFA said the Israeli extremist Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, led an invasion by settlers against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the first day of the so-called Jewish Festival of Lights, Hanukkah.
The WAFA report described dozens of settlers, led by extremist Ben Gvir, storming Al-Aqsa in groups from the Mughrabi Gate and carrying out racist Talmudic rituals in its courtyards.
It also said the occupation deployed a special unit in Al-Aqsa's courtyards to secure the invasion and prevent worshippers from entering, coinciding with Ben Gvir's assault.
