A new video released on Tuesday by the Israeli Information Centre for Human Rights B’Tselem shows an Israeli soldier shooting a Palestinian baby, aged seven months, while he was in his mother’s arms in Hebron, southern West Bank, four days ago.

B’Tselem said it obtained footage showing the shooting of the Abu Hikal family, which killed baby Sam Abu Hikal and injured his parents.

The video clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing down to stop, while still at a distance from the soldiers and posing no threat.

It also shows the father holding the child and trying to stop the bleeding from his head, while the mother, who was also hit while carrying her son, sits on the road next to the family car.

B’Tselem added that the incident happened on Friday, 5th June, as the Palestinian family was returning from a family visit in the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood of Hebron.

The shooting occurred after the father, driving the car, saw soldiers on the road and slowed down.

Israeli forces have intensified raids and arrest campaigns across the occupied West Bank in recent days, as the region remains focused on the wider conflict involving Israel, the United States and Iran.

According to organisations specialising in prisoners’ affairs, more than 140 Palestinians have been arrested within a few days since the outbreak of the latest regional confrontation. The arrests followed raids targeting dozens of villages and refugee camps across both the northern and southern West Bank.

Data released by these organisations indicates that the number of Palestinians detained in the West Bank since the beginning of the year has exceeded 1,800, including university students and former prisoners.

The arrest campaigns have been particularly concentrated in the northern West Bank, according to local sources.

Residents reported near-daily incursions by Israeli forces into cities including Hebron, Nablus and Jenin, as well as surrounding towns and villages. Military vehicles typically enter these areas during the early hours of the morning before troops begin searching homes.

In many cases, the raids are accompanied by on-the-spot interrogations of young men, some of whom are detained for several hours before either being released or transferred to interrogation centres.

Several areas have also experienced road closures and the establishment of temporary military checkpoints, while some homes have reportedly been converted into temporary military positions during search operations.

Observers say the intensified operations appear to be part of a broader security policy aimed at maintaining control over the Palestinian arena and preventing a new confrontation while the region faces wider military tensions.

Israeli forces conducted a raid in the West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday, Jan. 31, utilizing heavy machinery to block streets, Anadolu reports.

The report said Israel has intensified attacks in the West Bank during two years of genocide in the Gaza Strip, with assaults continuing in the form of killings, destruction, displacement and settlement expansion.

According to Palestinian figures, Israeli forces and illegal settlers have killed at least 1,110 Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and injured nearly 11,000 others since October 2023.

The International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal in a landmark opinion in July 2024 and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

A group of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday, Anadolu Agency reports.

Israeli soldiers provided protection and escorted the settlers during the raid on the Old City area, imposing heavy security measures.

Such raids are a recurring practice, with Israeli settlers carrying out raids under the protection and escort of Israeli army forces.

The Israeli army has escalated its attacks in the occupied West Bank since the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023.

Israeli forces and illegal settlers have killed at least 1,097 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, injured nearly 11,000, and detained around 21,000 since October 2023, according to Palestinian figures.

In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

At least 40 Palestinians were rounded up by the Israeli army in military raids across the occupied West Bank, a prisoners’ rights group said Wednesday, Anadolu Agency reports.

A child and former prisoners were among the detainees in the raids that targeted the cities of Salfit, Jenin, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Nablus, Tulkarem, and Hebron, the Palestinian Prisoner Society said in a statement.

Israeli forces stormed several houses, carried out abusive acts targeting Palestinians, and vandalized their properties during the raids, the statement said.

Witnesses told Anadolu that special Israeli forces, backed by military reinforcements, stormed the eastern neighborhood of Jenin city at dawn and turned a house into a military outpost.

Following the raid, the Palestinian Education Ministry suspended schools in Jenin to maintain the safety of students.

According to Palestinian figures, nearly 21,000 people have been detained by the Israeli army in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023.
