Occupied Jerusalem, Sept. 6 (SANA) Six Palestinians, including two children, were injured in Israeli occupation attacks across the Gaza Strip and the West Bank over the weekend, while nine others were arrested during raids, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA and medical sources.
In Gaza, three Palestinians were wounded on Saturday in an Israeli airstrike on the al-Tuffah neighborhood northeast of Gaza City, while a child was injured when Israeli forces opened fire toward tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the al-Sudaniya area in the northwestern Gaza Strip.
Israeli occupation artillery also shelled areas east of the al-Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City, while drones dropped explosive devices on Palestinian homes near Mushtaha Street and al-Shujaiya market. No injuries were reported in those attacks.
In southern Gaza, Israeli artillery fired several shells toward areas northwest of Rafah, while military vehicles opened heavy fire toward areas south of Khan Younis.
Rescue crews on Saturday recovered the remains of 55 people from beneath the rubble of a house destroyed by Israeli occupation forces in the al-Zeitoun neighborhood south of Gaza City.
Raids and arrests in West Bank
In the West Bank, two Palestinians were injured by Israeli forces’ gunfire on Sunday. One Palestinian was shot in Jenin, while a child was wounded by live ammunition during a raid on Qalqilya, WAFA reported.
Israeli forces also arrested nine Palestinians in Aqaba, north of Tubas, and detained several others during a raid on the town, where they turned a house into a field interrogation center.
In Qusra, south of Nablus, Israeli occupation forces raided two schools and surrounded three homes on Sunday morning, as their operations in the town continued for the 29th consecutive day.
The UN Human Rights Office said Friday that it had documented the killing of more than 1,100 Palestinians by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank between Oct. 7, 2023, and July 27.
