The Israeli army demolished a Palestinian Bedouin settlement in the northern occupied West Bank where more than 20 Palestinians had lived for more than 20 years, Anadolu reports.
According to a statement by the Palestinian organization for the defense of Bedouin rights, BEYDER, the army demolished the settlement west of the town of Deir Ballut in Salfit.
More than 20 Palestinian Bedouins had lived in the settlement for over two decades, making their living through livestock farming and raising approximately 1,000 sheep and goats.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society earlier said that a Palestinian was critically injured by Israeli fire in the abdomen and thigh.
Israeli forces carry out frequent raids on cities, towns and refugee camps across the occupied West Bank, often involving home searches, arrests and gunfire, amid escalating tensions since Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023.
