About 35 Palestinians were injured Wednesday when the Israeli police quelled a protest held in solidarity with the residents of al-Khan al-Ahmar village in Jerusalem which is threatened with demolition at any moment.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that four Palestinian citizens were transferred to hospitals for treatment while the rest were treated in the field.
Palestinian media sources said that the Israeli police arrested 8 Palestinians in the attack. Israeli policemen were seen assaulting a Palestinian young woman, ripping off her hijab and dragging her on the ground before she was detained.
They explained that Israeli police violently attacked Palestinian activists and residents of al-Khan al-Ahmar as they stood on guard to Israeli bulldozers attempting to demolish the Bedouin village.
Israel's Supreme Court in May ruled for demolishing al-Khan al-Ahmar, home to 180 Palestinians, under the pretext of being unlicensed.
Al-Khan al-Ahmar is one of 46 Bedouin communities in the West Bank threatened with forced displacement. These communities are located in Area C which is exclusively administered by Israel based on the Oslo Accords signed in 1993. video

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Wednesday kidnapped seven Palestinians in abduction sweeps rocking the West Bank.
The Israeli army claimed responsibility for the abduction of seven Palestinians on allegations of involvement in anti-occupation activities.
The list of arrestees included 15-year-old minor Sa’id Zakarna, who was kidnapped from his family home in Jenin’s southern town of Qabatiya.
Young man Khalil Kmeiri was also kidnapped by the IOF from his family home in al-Khalil.
Clashes reportedly burst out after the IOF stormed Beit Ummar, north of al-Khalil, and Kafr Malek, east of Ramallah.

Israeli military bulldozers on Wednesday morning moved dozens of meters into the eastern corners of the Bureij refugee camp, in the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Five Israeli bulldozers stationed at military sites along Gaza’s border crept into the eastern zone of the Bureij camp, discharging barrages of gunfire all the way through.
The bulldozers leveled Palestinian lands and repaired barbed wire.
Israeli military incursions near the border fence separating Gaza from territories occupied in 1948 have long been a near-daily occurrence.
The Israeli army also regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas.
The practice, often carried out under the security pretext, has destroyed much of the agricultural harvest of the blockaded coastal enclave.

Israeli soldiers shot, on Tuesday evening, three Palestinian women, and caused dozens to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation, during an all-women protest on Palestinian lands near the Israeli fence, east of Gaza city.
The soldiers, stationed in their sniper posts hundreds of meters away, fired live rounds and dozens of high-velocity gas bombs at the protesters, wounding three women with live fire, and causing dozens to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation.
Medics provided the injured women with the urgently-need medical aid and moved the three women, who were shot with live fire, to the Shifa Medical Center, west of Gaza city.
The Israeli attack took place after thousands of women nonviolently marched on Palestinian lands, near the fence, carrying Palestinian flags, and chanting against Trump’s “Deal of the Century,” which strips the Palestinian of their basic rights, including the Right of Return to all refugees, libertarian and independence.
The “deal” also completely removed occupied Jerusalem from any future “peace agreement,” after the U.S. President officially recognized the city as the “unified capital of Israel,” in direct violation of International Law, and numerous United Nations and Security Council resolutions. video
134 injured in IOF quelling of women march in eastern Gaza
About 134 Palestinians were injured Tuesday by live ammunition and teargas when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked a women march organized by the Higher National Committee for the Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege east of Gaza.
According to Gaza's Ministry of Health, most of the injured were women marching peacefully near the eastern border fence.
Thousands of Palestinian women and girls marched Tuesday afternoon near the border east of Gaza city for the Palestinian refugees' right of return.
The IOF soldiers stationed at the border fence heavily fired live ammunition and teargas canisters at the protesters injuring dozens of them.
The PIC reporter said that the IOF deliberately targeted journalists who were covering the protests. The Palestinian journalist Thaer Abu Rayyash was hit with a teargas canister in the head while his fellow Zaki Awadallah was hit with another one in the neck.
For her part, mother of medic Razan al-Najjar said in a speech that the Israeli crimes and attempts to blur the truth by killing journalists, paramedics and peaceful protesters will not intimidate the Palestinian people who will never stop fighting for their usurped rights.
A spokeswoman for Hamas's women movement affirmed that the right of return is non-negotiable, and called on human rights organizations to intervene to put an end to the Israeli crimes and unjust blockade on Gaza.
Women committee of the Higher National Committee for the Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege had invited all women organizations, student groups and unions in Gaza to take part in the march scheduled for Tuesday.
The committee said that the march is aimed at sending a clear message that Palestinian women, "the symbol of sacrifice", have their own role in the Great March of Return against all conspiracies targeting the Palestinian central issues, particularly the right of return.

Several Israeli military vehicles raided into eastern Gaza City in the besieged Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
A Ma’an reporter said that four Israeli bulldozers escorted by troops raided Gaza City, razed and leveled lands and repaired the border fence in the southeastern area.
Meanwhile, Israeli naval forces opened fire on Palestinian fishing boats as they were working off the coast of the central and northern Gaza Strip.
No injuries were reported.
The Israeli army regularly detains and opens fire at unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the unilaterally declared buffer zone.
Israeli human rights group B’Tselem recently concluded that Israel’s Gaza closure and “harassment of fishermen” have been “destroying Gaza’s fishing sector,” with 95 percent of fishermen living below the poverty line.
The Palestinian Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) issued an annual report for 2017 detailing Israeli attacks against Palestinian fishermen in the besieged Gaza Strip, highlighting that “these attacks deny fishermen from practicing their fishing work and accessing their livelihood resources.”

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Tuesday prevented a Palestinian farmer from accessing his agricultural land south of al-Khalil, the PIC reporter said.
IOF stormed early today Yatta town, to the south of the city, and sealed the Land’s main gate.
I was prevented more than once by Israeli settlers and soldiers from having access to my land, the land’s owner told our reporter.
I filled a case at the Israeli Supreme Court in occupied Jerusalem against their practices, he further said.
“Israeli soldiers tried to violently storm my house and they threatened to arrest me in a failed attempt to give up the case. But I refused.”

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday evening raided Nablus in the northern West Bank, from the southern entrance to the city.
Local sources said that IOF soldiers carried out the incursion after chasing Palestinian youths on a road that connects Nablus to Kafr Qallil town.
Eyewitnesses elaborated that four IOF patrols gave chase to Palestinian youngsters in al-Qantara area near Kafr Qallil town.

Israeli soldiers killed, on Monday evening, at least one Palestinian, and injured three others, including two who were then abducted by the soldiers after being injured, and one teenager who was rushed to a Palestinian hospital in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli news agency Haaretz reports that the four young men were trying to cross the border into Israel when the Israeli army spotted them and began shooting.
But video footage of the incident published by Quds News shows that the soldiers had invaded the Gaza Strip and were well within Palestinian territory when they grabbed the young men and dragged them across to their military base.
The disturbing footage shows the soldiers pulling one young man who is lying motionless on the ground, picking him up by arms and legs and dropping him repeatedly as they drag him across the stony ground. It is unclear whether the young man was alive or dead at the time.
Although the Israeli military claimed that the young men were “armed with fireworks”, no evidence was presented to back this claim.
The army also alleged that the soldiers “heard shots being fired at them,” but there has been no confirmation for his claim.
Only one of the wounded Palestinians, a 16 year old child, managed to escape the army’s attempt to abduct him, and was rushed to Abu Yousef Najjar Hospital, in Rafah, suffering a gunshot wound to his shoulder.
The three other Palestinians were taken by the soldiers who invaded the Palestinian lands, near the border fence, and took them away.
A Palestinian medic said the Palestinians (as confirmed by the video footage) did not cross the fence, and that he and his colleagues were only twenty meters away from the wounded Palestinians.
“We tried to provide aid to the wounded Palestinians; we were just twenty meters away from them,” the medic said, “but the soldiers threatened to shoot us, and forced us away.”
It is worth mentioning that some media outlets have reported that two of the young Palestinians were killed, while others report that one was killed.
Because the Israeli military is holding three of them, the extent of their wounds is unknown, and it is unclear whether one or two of them are dead.
The Israeli army claimed that the Palestinians were carrying cutters and flammable materials, and “were attempting to set fire to a vacant Israeli military sniper post along the border fence.
The Israeli army issued a statement holding the Hamas movement in Gaza fully responsible for “all attempts to cross the border fence and attack military installations.”
So far, the names of the Palestinians, including the deceased, remain unknown as they, except the wounded teen who was rushed to a Palestinian hospital, have been captured by the army.

Israeli soldiers invaded, on Monday morning, Palestinian agricultural lands east of Abasan al-Kabeera town, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
The invasion was carried out by a few armored vehicles, and bulldozers, before the soldiers advanced approximately 50 meters into Palestinian lands in the Sanati area, east of Khan Younis.
The soldiers then bulldozed Palestinian lands, and installed sand hills in the area, before withdrawing.
In related news, Israeli navy ships fired several live rounds at Palestinian fishing boats, in northern Gaza, causing no damage or injuries, but forced the fishermen back to shore.

After groups of extremist illegal Israeli colonizers attacked homes and residents in the center of Hebron city, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers turned the area into a closed military zone to the Palestinians, literally imprisoning them in their homes.
The Israeli measure came after groups of fanatic colonists gathered in Tel Romedia neighborhood, and the Shuhada Street, in the heart of Hebron city, and organized protests calling for removing every Palestinian from the area.
The fanatics came from several illegal colonies in Hebron, and other parts of occupied Palestine, while the soldiers started imposing further restrictions not on the assailants, but on the Palestinian natives of the occupied city.
The attacks witnessed a serious escalation over the last two days with more extremists arriving in the city to participate in these violations.
On Friday evening, a group of extremist colonizers attacked Palestinians in Tal Romeida neighborhood, while Israeli soldiers stood and watched, before attacking the Palestinians, and abducted one of them.
