Two separate incidents in the occupied West Bank left a Palestinian wounded by live fire and four people detained at a wedding Friday, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and Wafa.
The Red Crescent identified the wounded man as 27. Anadolu Agency, citing local sources, reported that Israeli forces raided Aysar Saleh Hamamreh’s home in Jaba, south of Jenin. The sources said the raid damaged household items and solar panels and that property was taken. They estimated the losses at about 200,000 shekels, or $62,000.
Wafa reported that tear gas was directed toward about 150 guests at a wedding hall in Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah. Israeli forces detained four Palestinians, including groom Hassan Abu Alia, the agency said. Wafa reported that the four were assaulted before being released several hours later.
Anadolu Agency described a broader rise in attacks on Palestinians and damage to their property during Israel’s war on Gaza, which began in October 2023. The agency said Palestinians have warned that such practices could advance formal annexation and hurt prospects for an independent Palestinian state.
