Israeli Army Vehicle Rams into Palestinian Boy Near Nablus.

Nablus: An Israeli army vehicle Tuesday evening rammed into a Palestinian boy in Beita town, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources. They reported that a convoy of Israeli army vehicles stormed the town, with soldiers deploying in several neighborhoods. During the ensuing confrontations, the soldiers, armed with guns, deliberately rammed their vehicle into a 17-year-old teen, causing multiple injuries. The teen was subsequently rushed to a hospital for treatment. According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, separate raids were confirmed in Osarin town and Odala village, south of Nablus. In these areas, heavily armed soldiers fired numerous teargas canisters and concussion grenades, though no casualties were reported. Additionally, in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, occupation forces opened fire on a young man, injuring him. The man was later detained, as confirmed by a press release from the Jerusalem Governorate. Israeli occupation forces carry out fr equent raids on Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank, often under the pretext of searching for "wanted" Palestinians, leading to clashes with residents. These raids occur even in areas fully controlled by the Palestinian Authority and are conducted without search warrants, as the military operates under broad arbitrary powers. Under Israeli military law, army commanders hold full executive, legislative, and judicial authority over the 3 million Palestinians residing in the West Bank, leaving Palestinians without a voice in how this authority is wielded.
