A disturbing incident unfolded near Hebron in the occupied West Bank, where an Israeli woman, Bat Sheva Nigri, lost her life, and a man was gravely wounded in what appears to be a car attack by Palestinian assailants.
According to BBC, approximately 20 shots were fired from a passing vehicle along the highway near the Beit Hagai settlement. Israeli military sources indicate that the suspects were pursued, leading to the establishment of checkpoints in the vicinity.
Palestinian media reports that Hebron has been encircled, with Palestinians being questioned upon entering or exiting the city.
Nigri, a mother of three and a kindergarten educator from Beit Hagai, was fatally targeted in this tragic incident. The man operating the vehicle had reportedly given Nigri and her six-year-old daughter a ride home.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas praised this act, considering it a "natural response" to the ongoing construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
Meanwhile, Palestinian authorities assert that Israeli forces engaged in a lethal confrontation with six Palestinians in Beitah village in the northern West Bank, with one individual sustaining a critical head injury.
A widely circulated video on the internet captures the distressing moment when a man is shot in the back of the head while attempting to evade Israeli forces.
Over the weekend, a car wash near the northern village of Huwara became the site of an unfortunate occurrence, where an Israeli man and his son were shot by an alleged Palestinian militant.
In East Jerusalem, a 15-year-old Palestinian boy suffered a serious head injury as a result of Israeli forces opening fire. Authorities report that he was apprehended attempting to hurl a Molotov cocktail during a raid in the Silwan district.
This year, there have been Israeli military raids in Palestinian cities, violence from Israeli settlers against Palestinian homes, and Palestinian attacks on Israelis, all leading to increased tension.
In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers fired a gunshot at an unarmed Palestinian civilian who was rushing to assist the wounded during clashes with fellow Palestinians as reported by AA on August 22.
The victim, 34-year-old Amid al-Kagub, was subsequently hospitalized and underwent surgery. Currently, he remains in the intensive care unit, according to sources from Palestinian health authorities.
The Israeli army's press office declined to comment on the incident when contacted by "Anadolu."
In another instance, Israeli forces conducted a raid in the city of Beitah, south of Nablus. Military personnel employed both live ammunition and rubber bullets against Palestinian youth engaging in protests against Israeli actions.
