Israeli Forces Arrest 7 Palestinians in the West Bank
Title: Israeli Forces Detain 7 Palestinians Following Deadly Attack on Settlers
In a recent statement by the Palestinian Prisoners Association, it was confirmed that seven Palestinians, including six from Urif town and one from Tamun town, have been detained by Israeli forces.
Eyewitnesses revealed that Israeli forces conducted a raid in Urif, leading to the apprehension of the individuals. The raid targeted specific houses believed to be connected to the attack that resulted in the killing of four Jewish settlers. Israeli forces also reportedly measured these houses for potential demolition.
As of now, the Israeli authorities have not released an official statement regarding these detentions.
Yesterday, a tragic armed attack took place near a gas station in Eli, an illegal Jewish settlement located between the cities of Ramallah and Nablus in the occupied West Bank. Four Israeli settlers lost their lives in the attack, while four others sustained injuries, with one in a critical condition. The Israeli army confirmed the death of one perpetrator at the scene, while the second suspect was killed during subsequent large-scale searches. However, there is no information yet on whether a third attacker was involved or the identities of those behind the plot.
The Israeli government’s decision to demolish the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out the attack has drawn criticism from human rights organizations. These organizations argue that such actions violate the principle of individuality of crime and amount to collective punishment.
The situation remains tense following the attack, and further updates are expected as more details emerge.
