Israel’s war on Gaza live: Dozens of civilians killed in ‘barbaric attacks’ | Israeli War on Gaza News

Israeli forces fired live bullets, stun grenades and tear gas during clashes in Hebron governorate in the south of the West Bank, injuring dozens of Palestinians, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The clashes in the town of Idhna and the village of Tabqa on Saturday evening came after Israeli forces detained and mistreated a Palestinian family and their children as they tried to return to their home east of the city of Hebron, Wafa reported.

Israeli soldiers released some family members but continued to hold a young man and his sister, Wafa added.

The family’s home is in the Jaber neighborhood near Kiryat Arba, one of the most illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, whose residents include the far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
