Ramallah, August 15 (Petra) – Several Palestinians suffered from tear
gas inhalation on Saturday during an Israeli raid on Al Mughayyir
village, northeast of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said settlers attacked the Shaab
al-Loz neighbourhood, northwest of the village and attempted to break
into several homes.

Israeli forces subsequently stormed the area and fired tear gas
canisters, causing several residents, including children, to suffer
from tear gas inhalation.

Villages and towns northeast of Ramallah have been subjected to
repeated raids by Israeli forces, alongside ongoing attacks by
settlers targeting Palestinian residents and their property.

According to the Palestinian Authority’s Commission against the Wall
and Settlements, Israeli forces and settlers carried out 2,256
attacks against Palestinians, their lands and property in July.

Israeli occupation forces were responsible for 1,458 attacks, while
settlers carried out 798.

The commission stated that the attacks were concentrated in the
governorates of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, with 260 attacks, followed by
Nablus with 247, Jenin with 190, Bethlehem with 185 and Hebron with
170.

It said the figures demonstrate what it described as a clear
integration between military force and settler attacks, alleging that
the Israeli army provides protection and support that enables the
expansion of such attacks and facilitates the establishment of their
consequences as ongoing realities on the ground.
