Four Palestinians were injured in separate incidents involving Israeli forces across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. One man was shot in the head with a rubber bullet, while three others were struck by an Israeli military vehicle.
The Red Crescent said its emergency teams transported the injured man to hospital following an Israeli raid in Kharbatha Bani Harith, west of Ramallah.
In a separate incident in Al-Yamun, northwest of Jenin, three Palestinians were taken to hospital after being hit by an Israeli military jeep.
Israeli forces also carried out a raid in eastern Jenin, entering a bakery and detaining several residents for questioning, according to Voice of Palestine radio. Palestine TV reported that soldiers assaulted several young men during the operation.
Further south, Israeli police arrested a foreign pro-Palestinian activist in Khirbet Aqawis, in the Masafer Yatta area south of Hebron, according to local rights activist Osama Makhamra.
Makhamra also said Israeli forces detained five Israeli activists for several hours in nearby Khirbet al-Halawa before releasing them and confiscating their vehicle. The activists were accused of entering Firing Zone 918, an area designated by Israel for military training.
Israeli military raids and attacks by settlers against Palestinians and their property have increased across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since the start of the war on Gaza in October 2023.
