The Israeli army shot two Palestinian youths early Friday morning and arrested four others during raids in the occupied West Bank, and also blew up an apartment northwest of occupied Jerusalem.

According to local sources, two Palestinians were injured by Israeli army gunfire during its raid in central Hebron city in the southern West Bank, with soldiers firing live bullets, sound bombs, and tear gas.

In Ramallah, Israeli forces raided the town of Sinjel at dawn, stormed several homes, and arrested three young men, while another young man was arrested after a raid on the village of Al-Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah.

In Jerusalem, the Israeli army blew up the apartment of Palestinian Mohammad Bassam Taha in the town of Qatna, claiming he carried out a shooting attack last month.

Large Israeli forces stormed Qatna, besieged a building, forced its owners to evacuate, prevented journalists from approaching, and forced residents of neighboring homes to leave.

About two weeks ago, the Israeli army blew up the home of the family of Muthanna Naji Amro in the town of Al-Qubeiba northwest of occupied Jerusalem.

On September 8, Mohammad Bassam Taha and Muthanna Naji Amro carried out a shooting attack on buses in the Ramot settlement in occupied Jerusalem, killing six Israelis and injuring 30 others.

The operation was claimed by the Al-Qassam Brigades, which said it was a message that “all the occupation’s failed attempts to dry up the sources of resistance will only result in the shedding of the blood of its Nazi army soldiers and its criminal settlers.”

The demolition of the home is part of a policy followed by Israel to destroy homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out attacks against Israeli targets, a policy described by human rights organizations as “collective punishment.”

Alongside the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have killed at least 1,050 Palestinians, injured about 10,300, and arrested more than 20,000, including 400 children.
