Occupied Jerusalem, June 29 (SANA) Three Palestinians, including a child, were killed on Monday in an Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip, while military raids and arrests continued across the West Bank amid escalating settler attacks.
According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, an Israeli drone targeted the vicinity of the Wadi al-Salqa bridge on al-Baraka Street in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, killing three Palestinians, including a child, and injuring several others. This latest strike comes as medical sources in Gaza reported that the total toll since October 7, 2023, has risen to 73,054 fatalities and 173,480 injuries.
In the West Bank, forces conducted multiple raids and detained 10 Palestinians. Two individuals were arrested in the town of Hizma, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, after local residents confronted settlers who attempted to torch Palestinian vehicles. Additional arrests included two individuals in Bethlehem, three in Qusra, south of Nablus, and three from the Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah.
Simultaneously, searches and property damage were reported during incursions into Zeita, north of Tulkarm, and az-Zawiya, west of Salfit. Israeli forces also raided the Birzeit University campus north of Ramallah at dawn, where they assaulted a campus guard and damaged property inside the Faculty of Physical Education building.
Meanwhile, settler violence continued to target local infrastructure and residents. In Beita, south of Nablus, a Palestinian laborer was assaulted and pepper-sprayed in the industrial zone, while another group of settlers erected a tent on Palestinian land in Kafr al-Dik, west of Salfit, in a preliminary move to establish a new settlement outpost.
