Gaza truce violations

“A Palestinian has died from his injuries and another was wounded in Israeli violations of the truce in Gaza.”
The Palestinian Center, also quoted in the saba.ye item, said Israeli violations against Gaza prisoners constitute war crimes and called for an international investigation. The saba.ye item further states that the number of martyrs in the Israeli aggression against Gaza rises to 73,381.
Solomon’s Pools closed
Israeli occupation forces closed the Solomon’s Pools tourist area south of Bethlehem, with WAFA reporting that Israeli forces stormed the area, deployed at the first pool, and closed the main road leading to Artas village and the Convention Palace. WAFA said Israeli forces and colonists intensified their attacks on the Solomon’s Pools area, including assaults on visitors and preventing Palestinian citizens from accessing the site.
In parallel, Fox News Digital described Solomon’s Pools as “the center of a modern political dispute,” and quoted Efrat mayor Dovi Shefler saying the pools are “the future of Efrat in our ability to exercise our sovereignty.” Fox News Digital also reported that under the Oslo Accords the pools are located in Area A, while Yonatan Marcus said the reservoirs “ultimately mistakenly fell inside Area A.”
Settler attacks and raids
In the occupied West Bank, Petra reported that Jewish settlers intensified attacks on towns and villages south of Nablus, setting fire to vehicles, attacking homes, and damaging electricity infrastructure. Petra said the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission stated that settlers attacked homes between the villages of Jalud and Talfit, setting fire to three vehicles that were completely destroyed.
Petra also reported that Israeli forces carried out raids and arrest operations across several governorates in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, with injuries and cases of tear gas inhalation reported. The Palestinian Prisoners Club, as cited by Petra, said Israeli forces arrested 22 Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, alleging they were wanted by Israeli authorities.
