Israeli Raids And Illegal Settler Attacks Wound Palestinians Across Occupied West Bank

Israeli raids and illegal settler attacks wounded Palestinians across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, according to multiple reports that described injuries in several separate locations.

“Israeli occupation forces launched a series of raid operations on Friday evening targeting several areas in the West Bank, during which clashes erupted with Palestinian youths and shops were closed”

TRT World said seven Palestinians were wounded in “a series of attacks by illegal Israeli settlers and military forces across the occupied West Bank,” and it cited local and official sources for the figure.

It reported that “Three Palestinians were wounded in the town of Jalud, south of Nablus,” and that they were transferred to a nearby medical center after the incident, as WAFA reported.

In a separate incident in Jabal Jalis, “four Palestinians—including a 71-year-old woman—were injured during a settler assault,” TRT World said.

The same report said that in Masafer Yatta, “settlers reportedly released livestock onto Palestinian land and uprooted around 30 olive trees,” damaging livelihoods.

TRT World also described “ongoing daily attacks in the village of Duma, southeast of Nablus,” and said arrests and raids intensified Israeli forces’ operations across the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

It added that “at least six Palestinians” were arrested, including “Two young men” detained in Sheikh Jarrah and “two others” detained in Jenin’s Kafr Qud after home raids.

The incidents were framed as part of a broader escalation, with TRT World citing Palestinian figures that “since October 2023, at least 1,155 Palestinians have been killed, around 11,750 injured, and nearly 22,000 arrested in the occupied territories.”

Alongside reported injuries, several outlets described Israeli forces conducting raids, detaining Palestinians, and seizing land in the occupied West Bank.

Middle East Monitor said the Israeli army detained “10 Palestinians, including five children,” during raids across the occupied West Bank, citing local sources.

It specified that the raids took place in “the towns of Lubben and Yaben” and that the operation occurred “on February 24, 2026, in Jenin, West Bank,” with Anadolu Agency credited in the report’s attribution.

Middle East Monitor said that “Israeli soldiers arrested five children while they were collecting wild plants south of Hebron,” and that “The children were taken to an unknown location, with no immediate information available about their condition.”

It also reported that Israeli forces published a photo showing detainees in Burqa, “east of Ramallah,” and said the image showed “five detainees.”

Middle East Eye described a different set of actions, saying Israeli forces raided “Burqa village, near Ramallah,” and that Wafa reported the use of “rubber-coated metal bullets, live ammunition, and gas canisters” on Palestinians leaving Friday prayers at the mosque.

It added that the forces “shot a young man” and detained “several young men and children during the Burqa raid,” while also reporting that Israeli forces “seized a tract of land from the village of Kharsa near Hebron” based on “military orders.”

TRT عربي similarly described a wide arrest campaign and movement restrictions, saying occupation forces “closed the Atarot and Ain Sina checkpoints north of Ramallah, prevented the movement of residents,” and “fired tear gas, causing a severe traffic jam.”

Several reports described Palestinians being killed or injured during raids, and they portrayed the incidents as part of a continuing escalation across multiple West Bank areas.

TRT عربي said that in the town of Sluwad, “the Palestinian Abdul-Halim Hamad, 37, was martyred by occupation army fire during its raid on the town,” and it added that “the occupation authorities seized his body,” citing WAFA and the Ministry of Health.

It also described checkpoint closures and tear gas, saying occupation forces “closed the entrances to the towns of Sluwad and Deir Jarir” and “fired tear gas, causing a severe traffic jam.”

TRT عربي reported that in the Al-Arub refugee camp, “a young Palestinian was shot with live ammunition and another was arrested during clashes,” and it said “a woman was injured when occupation forces assaulted her in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.”

It further said “a special forces unit abducted a young man from the town of Asira al-Shamaliyya, north of Nablus.”

In a separate account, عين ليبيا reported that Palestinian youth “killed early Wednesday by Israeli forces' gunfire” in Silwad, east of Ramallah, and it identified the deceased as “37-year-old Abd al-Halim Rouhi Abd al-Halim Hamad.”

Anadolu Ajansı reported that “A Palestinian child was killed Thursday by gunfire from the Israeli army during a raid in the city of Nablus,” identifying the child as “Yousef Sameh Ashtayyeh.”

TRT عربي also cited the Palestinian Prisoners Club saying “the Israeli army arrested around 140 Palestinians over Monday and Tuesday.”

Beyond raids, multiple reports described violent attacks by illegal Israeli settlers and alleged patterns of impunity.

Association France Palestine Solidarité said Israeli settlers carried out “a series of attacks across the occupied West Bank, torching homes and vehicles and wounding several Palestinians,” describing “coordinated raids on communities” from “Saturday night to Sunday.”

L'Humanité

It reported that Wafa cited local sources saying settlers entered “al-Fandaqumiya” and “Seilat al-Dahr, south of Jenin,” where “several homes were targeted and a resident beaten, leaving him injured.”

The same account said that in Masafer Yatta, “two Palestinians were wounded and three arrested after settlers entered the area under the protection of Israeli forces,” and it described vehicles being torched in “Qaryout and Jaloud, south of Nablus.”

It also said that “At least five cars were burned, while others—including a fire truck—were vandalized,” and that Israeli troops and police were “at the outskirts of the villages from 2 a.m., but did not stop the attacks.”

RTBF described a deadly settler attack on a school in al-Moughayer, saying “Aous Hamdi Al-Nassan, 14 years old, and Jihad Marzouq Abou Naïm, 32 years old, died on Tuesday in al-Moughayer,” and it quoted Bassam Abou Assaf saying, “The students were taking their monthly exams. Suddenly, we were shocked to see settlers advance toward the school and attack it.”

In a different framing, L’Humanité cited a Guardian inquiry published “on Wednesday, March 25” that found “no person believed to be responsible for the murder of Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank has been prosecuted by Israeli authorities since 2020,” and it said Breaking the Silence reported that the Israeli border police who killed the Bani Odeh family “will neither be prosecuted nor even questioned.”

The reports tied the West Bank violence to broader political and legal stakes, including international scrutiny of settlements and the risk of further displacement.

TRT عربي said the West Bank is witnessing “a rise in army raids and settlers’ attacks,” and it cited that “The United Nations regards Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories as illegal and calls for an end to settlement expansion.”

Middle East Eye

It provided settlement figures, saying “Some 750,000 Israeli settlers live in 141 settlements and 224 outposts in the occupied West Bank,” including “about 250,000 in East Jerusalem,” and it stated that the United Nations regards East Jerusalem as “part of the occupied Palestinian territories.”

TRT عربي also cited the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, saying “Israeli forces conducted 1,322 assaults during March, while the settlers conducted 497 assaults.”

It then returned to the casualty and detention totals, stating “Since October 2023, attacks by the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank have left at least 1,154 Palestinians dead, injured about 11,750, and detained around 22,000, according to official Palestinian figures.”

In parallel, Al-Jazeera Net described Israeli raids that “close commercial shops,” and it reported that in Beit Ummar north of Hebron, forces “closed a number of shops and impeded the movement of residents.”

Association France Palestine Solidarité added that the attacks occurred “during Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan,” and it said they were “part of a broader escalation of settler violence that has intensified since the Gaza war began.”

It also quoted the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem accusing the government of allowing settler violence “as part of a strategy to consolidate control over Palestinian land,” and it said the UN warned Israeli policies risk “triggering the forcible displacement of Palestinian communities.”
