Elsewhere in the West Bank, a Palestinian young man was injured in the face when Israeli occupation forces stormed a wedding celebration in the town of Hizma, northeast of occupied Jerusalem. The young man was taken to a medical center for treatment after being struck directly in the face by a tear gas canister, the Jerusalem Governorate has reported, with several wedding attendees, including children and elderly people, suffering from tear gas inhalation.
Israeli forces also arrested two Palestinians from the town of Yatta in the Hebron Governorate today. They set up several military checkpoints at the entrances to Hebron and its surrounding towns, villages, and refugee camps, closing a number of main and secondary roads using iron gates, concrete blocks, and earth barriers. Areas across the occupied West Bank have been witnessing a continuing escalation by Israeli forces, which carry out near-daily raids, house searches, arrests, and road closures, alongside repeated attacks by Israeli settlers targeting Palestinians and their property.
