Israeli Forces, Settlers Injure Several Palestinians in West Bank

Amman, Aug. 16 (Petra) --Israeli occupation forces and settlers wounded dozens of Palestinians and detained several others in raids across the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem on Sunday.

In a related incident, Israeli forces forced a Jerusalem resident to demolish his own home.

Thirty-three Palestinians were wounded in settler and Israeli force attacks in the Ras and Beit Ainoun areas east of Hebron in the southern West Bank.

In its statement, Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its crews treated 10 injuries in Hebron's Jaabari neighborhood, including two live-fire cases.

A 60-year-old man was shot in the back and hand, while another man was shot and later detained by occupation forces. Eight residents, including a 66-year-old woman, were injured from beatings, the PRCS said.

Settlers separately attacked the Zaloum family in the Beit Ainoun area, wounding 20 Palestinians. Occupation forces detained 12 young men in the same incident.

Elsewhere in the West Bank, occupation forces launched raid, search and detention campaigns marked by clashes, home searches and field interrogations.

The Palestinian Prisoner's Club said Israeli forces stormed several West Bank areas amid heavy gunfire and detained 25 Palestinians on the pretext that these Palestinians were wanted by Israeli authorities.

In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli authorities forced resident Mamoun Salem Shweiki to demolish his own home in the Ein al-Fawqa neighborhood of Silwan, citing lack of a building permit.

The Jerusalem governorate said the roughly 70-square-meter home, built about two years ago, housed Shweiki, his wife and their three children.

Meanwhile in Gaza Strip, Red Crescent crews recovered the body of 14-year-old Suheil Masoud Shalouf south of Khan Younis on Sunday, a day after he was shot and killed by Israeli forces on Tina Street.

Three other Palestinians were wounded by Israeli force gunfire targeting displacement tents in the Bir 19 area of Muwasi, Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
