ISTANBUL (AA) – A Palestinian pregnant woman miscarried after an Israeli military raid on her home in the West Bank city of Hebron, according to local media on Sunday.
Israeli forces raided several houses in southern Hebron and assaulted a Palestinian man and his wife, who suffered a miscarriage, the official news agency Wafa reported.
The wife was rushed to hospital for medical attention after the Israeli raid, Wafa said.
In another development, illegal Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian residents in several neighborhoods in Hebron’s Old City
Armed settlers staged a march Saturday evening from the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron and assaulted several homes and properties as they marched through several neighborhoods in Hebron’s Old City, Wafa said.
Tensions have been running high across the occupied West Bank amid Israel’s devastating military offensive on Gaza, which has killed nearly 41,200 people, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7.
At least 703 people, including 159 children, have been killed and more than 5,700 injured by Israeli fire in the West Bank, according to the Health Ministry.
The escalation followed a landmark opinion by the International Court of Justice on July 19, which declared Israel's decades-long occupation of Palestinian land unlawful and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
