Murderous Israel, which is carrying out genocide in Gaza, is also escalating its cruelty in the occupied West Bank. Since October 8, 2023, they have massacred 73,269 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army, which replicates its barbarism from Gaza in the West Bank, frequently massacres, beats and detains innocent Palestinians during raids.

Yesterday, a 30-year-old Palestinian woman suffering a heart attack in Ramallah died after the Israeli army held up the ambulance at a military barrier at the town entrance for more than 30 minutes. Jews who usurp Palestinian land are also exploiting this wave of violence to escalate their attacks against Palestinians day by day.

All red lines crossed

Muhammad Rubi, head of the council of Tevane village near Hebron, said that Israeli attackers from the illegal outpost of 'Havat Maon' raided the village. Rubi stated that the Israeli attackers threw flammable materials, setting fire to two homes belonging to Palestinians Kamal Musa Rubi and Mahmoud Selman Rubi, as well as the Tevane Mosque.

Rubi reported that most of the torched structures burned, and he stressed that the attacks were carried out under the protection of Israeli forces. Rubi added that the Israelis in question also smashed and destroyed Palestinian property, including a vehicle. The Palestinian Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs emphasized that setting fire to the mosque meant crossing all red lines.

Since October 2023, there has been a significant increase in attacks by the Israeli army and Israelis usurping Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. According to official Palestinian data, during this period 1,181 Palestinians have been killed, approximately 13,000 have been injured, and nearly 24,000 have been detained.

Cancer cases rise in Gaza

The genocidal Israeli army continues its massacres in Gaza despite the ceasefire.

They are targeting refugee camps and tents. In the past day, at least 15 Palestinians were killed and many others injured in the attacks. The humanitarian crisis is deepening due to the attacks and blockade. Tens of thousands of Palestinians are struggling to survive in sweltering tents, and they face difficulties accessing clean water.

It was reported that the health system has reached a breaking point, much of the population cannot access healthcare due to shortages of medicine and medical supplies, and there has been a serious increase in epidemic diseases and cancer cases.
