According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, Israeli occupation forces stormed a house in the town of Silwad near Ramallah, killing a young man and withholding his body. They also raided Al-Arroub refugee camp in Hebron, opening fire, injuring one Palestinian and arresting another. In the Masafer Yatta area of Hebron, a Palestinian woman sustained fractures and bruises after being assaulted by Israeli forces.
