Israeli troops reportedly embarked on erecting a bypass road, on Tuesday, in the Huwara village, south of Nablus city in the northern occupied West Bank.

Local Palestinian media sources said that the road is seven kilometers-long and that it will be located on about 100 acres of Palestinian farm lands.

Ghassan Daghlas, chief of the file of Israeli colonial settlements, across the West Bank, told media outlets that Israeli army bulldozers have been bulldozing and razing Palestinian farm lands, for the second day consecutively.

Daghlas noted that the bulldozing will cause the destruction of a total of 2800 olive trees owned by Palestinians in the villages of Burin, Huwara Beta, Ourta, Yatma, Sawiya and Yasouf, located in southern Nablus city.

Noteworthy, the Israeli occupation government released, in April of 2019, footage of a new Israeli scheme for creating a road in Nablus city. The scheme involved 44 plans, many of which have reportedly been executed.

Such a scheme is believed to serve only the nearby Israeli colonial settlements, constructed illegally on Palestinian-owned lands.

League of the Arab States denounced on Thursday, the latest Israeli authorities’ decision to confiscate the vicinity of Palestinian-Muslim ‘Al-Ibrahimi’ or Ibrahimi Mosque, in the southern occupied West Bank city of Hebron.

In a statement, issued by the league, 22 Arab states considered the latest confiscation a part of Israel’s attempts to change the demographic in the area, with the goal ‘judaizing’ the old Palestinian city of Hebron. The statement called on the international community to pressure Israel to implement all relevant international resolutions regarding holy shrines across the occupied Palestinian territories.

The statement also noted that the decision regarding Hebron’s holy shrine could be a part of Israel’s continued attempts to annex Palestinian territories to the occupation state of Israel.

The Arab states demanded that the international community and the United Nations’ Security Council take action with regards to the situation in Palestine, in a way that would forge a just solution for the conflict, based on a long-anticipated two-state solution, with the state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side with the Israeli state.

RAMALLAH (Ma’an) — Israeli forces shot and killed a 34-year-old Palestinian man during a predawn raid in the village of Nabi Saleh west of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank on Sunday, when another Palestinian, described as a “youth” by Israeli police, was injured and detained.

Israeli police claimed in a statement that the slain Palestinian, identified as Amr Ahmad Khalil from Nabi Saleh, was responsible for two shooting incidents that took place in the area the previous day.

Israeli police spokeswoman Luba al-Samri claimed that the Khalil opened fire at an Israeli-plated vehicle north of Ramallah near the illegal Israeli Ateret settlement Saturday afternoon, which resulted in the light injury of the driver, who was Palestinian.

She said the alleged assailant was also responsible for another shooting later in the day at an Israeli military site in Nabi Saleh that caused no casualties.

GAZA (Ma’an) — Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian protester and injured at least seven others with live fire Tuesday evening in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Clashes erupted east of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, with Palestinians throwing stones toward the border area with Israel, when Israeli soldiers opened live fire at the demonstrators.

Spokesperson for Gaza’s Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qudra said that 25-year-old Fadi Ibrahim al-Najar was shot dead with a live bullet.

Local sources told Ma’an that two other Palestinian demonstrators were injured with live bullets, though Reuters news agency cited residents and hospital officials as saying that seven others were shot and wounded.

An Israeli army spokesperson said that “dozens of Palestinians who attempted to damage the security fence along the border” were hurling rocks and rolling burning tires toward Israeli forces who “called out to the rioters to halt," and then "fired warning shots into the air.”

She said the Israeli army “was aware” of reports of one casualty, but would not confirm that al-Najar had been killed or acknowledge the seven other casualties.

Separately, local sources said that clashes also erupted with Israeli forces Tuesday night east of Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, when at least four Palestinians suffered from tear gas inhalation.

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A Palestinian citizen of Israel was shot dead by Israeli police during clashes in the Palestinian-majority town of Kafr Qasim in central Israel on Monday night.

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said in a statement on Tuesday morning that clashes erupted shortly before midnight when police detained a local man who was “wanted for questioning.”

Local youth threw stones at the police officers during the detention, and a “suspect” was also detained.

According to local news outlet Arab48, police officers fired tear gas, stun grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets at the crowd, which it said had gathered to denounce police failure to properly handle the high level of crime in Kafr Qasim.

Clashes continued into the night outside of the local police station, Rosenfeld said, adding that “as a result of a life-threatening situation,” a private security guard fired towards the protesters. Official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that at least two Palestinian citizens of Israel were injured during by gunshots.

One of the men — whom Israeli police spokeswoman Luba al-Samri identified as 21-year-old Muhammad Taha — was evacuated in critical condition to the Beilinson hospital in Petah Tikva, where doctors later declared him dead.

Rosenfeld also reported that Kafr Qasim protesters set fire to three police vehicles, while Israeli news outlet the Jerusalem Post reported that a police officer was “slightly wounded.”

Taha’s funeral is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, while the High Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel called for a general strike in all Palestinian-majority municipalities in Israel that same day.

Israeli police officers shot and killed, on Monday evening, a young Palestinian man in Kafr Qassem, east of Tel Aviv, after the police invaded the town, and resorted to excessive use of force against the residents, amidst accusations that the police are not providing security to the Arab citizens of the country facing increasing levels of organized crime, and violence.

The Arabs48 news website has reported that the slain Palestinian, Mohammad Taha , 27, was shot by the police with three live rounds in the head, from a close range, without posing any threat to them, and died from his wounds at the Beilinson Israeli medical center.

After shooting the young man, the police imposed curfew and abducted dozens of residents, before moving them to detention and interrogation centers.
