A 16-year-old Palestinian boy was shot in the chest by Israeli soldiers in Bani Naim, east of Hebron, on Thursday, according to Wafa. He was taken to the hospital and is in good condition.

Israeli migrants beat a 30-year-old man in Abu Njeim, southeast of Bethlehem. He is receiving treatment at a nearby hospital.

Elsewhere, settlers attacked several members of a family in Khirbet Emneizal in the South Hebron Hills.

The assailants also stole the family’s sheep before the Israeli army arrived, beat the residents and arrested seven people.

Attacks The number of Israelis living in the West Bank has increased significantly since Israel launched its war on Gaza in 2023.

Last month, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said Israeli residents had attacked Palestinians or their property six times a day so far this year – the highest number on record.

Citing figures from the Palestinian Prisoners’ Office, the Anadolu news agency reported that Israeli forces arrested 32 people across the occupied West Bank on Thursday. Thirteen were in the town of Beit Ummar, north of the city of Hebron.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, is “deeply alarmed” because Israel has offered to settle the occupied West Bank town of Givat Ze’ev.

His spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, told the press conference that the designation of the Israeli authorities “does not change the status of Givat Ze’ev according to international law as part of the Palestinian territory”.

All Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law.

In July 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a decision instructing Israel to stop occupying Palestinian territories “as soon as possible”, declaring its presence illegal.

Although the proposal is not legally binding, it has increased pressure on Israel to stop its expansion plans. The court also said that other countries are under pressure not to recognize the legality of this activity or to support or maintain it.
