Israeli settlers target Palestinians across the West Bank
Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians in multiple villages
across the occupied West Bank on Friday and trees and cars on
fire, according to local officials and emergency responders with
the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said six people were
injured in two attacks it responded to in the town of Abu Falah
outside Ramallah. A 63-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were
taken to a hospital after being beaten by settlers, the Red
Crescent said.
Israel has imposed new rules on the olive harvest this year,
prohibiting Palestinians from working in what’s known as Area C,
which is under Israeli security control and encompasses the
majority of the territory’s agricultural land.
At least four Palestinians have been killed and more than 100
injured since the harvest season began earlier this month,
according to Palestinian officials. They say thousands of trees
have been damaged, costing farmers hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Israel’s police and army did not immediately respond to
questions about the attacks.
Attacks near palace used by Yemen’s government kill 5
Attacks near a palace used by Yemen’s internationally recognized
government killed at least five people and wounded more than a
dozen, said government officials.
In a Facebook post late Thursday, Health Minister Qasem Buhaibeh
said security guards and other employees at Maashiq palace in
Yemen’s southern port city of Aden were among the casualties.
Aden has been the seat of Yemen’s government since 2015. The
Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the
attacks, saying they targeted a military operations headquarters
associated with Saudi forces that are backing the government.
