The Israeli defense force informed that they have killed nearly 10 ‘terrorists’ and arrested eight wanted suspects during the operation, which began on Thursday. According to Palestinian health ministry and news agency Wafa, at least one child and one teenager were among those killed. They also stated that the IDF arrested numerous young people and destroyed key infrastructure.

The situation escalated as the Palestinian Ministry of Health condemned two separate incidents involving emergency medical crews operating in the West Bank on Saturday. According to reports, an ambulance driver, identified as Mohammed Awad Allah Mohammed Musa (50), was killed by Israeli settlers as he attempted to take injured Palestinians to safety. Additionally, another ambulance driver was detained and questioned by the defense forces outside a hospital in the area.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health called for international health organizations, human rights institutions, and the International Committee of the Red Cross to urgently act to curb the escalating practices of the occupation and settlers against treatment centers and medical crews, allowing them to perform their humanitarian duty. They emphasized that targeting medics, ambulances, treatment centers, and medical staff, obstructing their movement and preventing them from reaching the wounded, constitutes a blatant and clear violation of international humanitarian law and international norms and treaties.
