Occupied Jerusalem, July 27 (SANA) Israeli occupation forces intensified military operations across the occupied Palestinian territories on Monday, wounding three fishermen in the Gaza Strip, carrying out mass arrests across the West Bank, demolishing homes and seizing Palestinian land, while Israeli settlers stepped up attacks on Palestinian property.
According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, three fishermen were injured when an Israeli occupation drone targeted them with explosive munitions near Gaza City’s fishing port as they were returning from sea.
In Nablus, a Palestinian woman lost her fetus after Israeli forces delayed an ambulance carrying her at the Awarta military checkpoint for more than 30 minutes despite her suffering severe bleeding. Doctors later saved her life after she reached hospital but were unable to save the fetus.
Israeli forces detained 20 Palestinians, including a woman, during raids in Tulkarm governorate, while eight others were detained in Nablus governorate and four in Qalqilya. Troops also raided the towns of Tuqu’ and Janata near Bethlehem and continued operations in Hebron governorate, where they searched homes and vehicles, questioned residents and erected military checkpoints.
In Jenin, occupation forces demolished a three-story residential building after imposing a military cordon. In Ni’lin, west of Ramallah, the number of demolished structures rose to three homes and one agricultural facility.
Israeli occupation authorities also issued six military orders to seize 498 dunums (49.8 hectares) of land in Tubas governorate as part of the “Crimson Thread” project launched earlier this year.
Israeli settlers, under the protection of occupation forces, also damaged crops and olive groves in areas east of Ramallah and south of Hebron after releasing livestock onto Palestinian farmland.
The latest incidents come amid continued Israeli occupation operations across the West Bank and Gaza, drawing renewed Arab and international calls to halt violations and ensure protection for the Palestinian people.
