Eight Palestinians were injured in the illegal Israeli settlers’ assaults in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem on Sunday, according to local sources, Anadolu reports.
Illegal Israeli settlers attacked the Al-Arara Bedouin community north of occupied East Jerusalem with stones and sticks, leaving seven Palestinians with varying degrees of injuries, according to the Bedouin rights group Al-Baidar.
The settlers burned the container houses and caused material losses to the residents.
The organization warned that “the continuation of these violations poses a direct threat to the stability of the people and their presence on their lands and paves the way for forced displacement.”
In the Umm al-Khair village of southern Hebron, southern West Bank, another group of settlers attacked Palestinians in the morning while they were working on their lands, local sources told Anadolu.
A young Palestinian was transferred to a hospital for medical attention after getting injured on his face and head.
Israeli attacks have escalated across the occupied West Bank since October 2023, killing more than 1,069 Palestinians and injuring 10,300 others, Palestinian figures showed.
According to the official Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, Israeli forces and illegal settlers carried out 766 attacks against Palestinians, their homes, property, and sources of livelihood across the West Bank in October alone.
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.

A group of activists chained themselves to railway tracks at the Port of Hamburg in Germany to protest the government’s arms exports to Israel and draw attention to civilian suffering in Gaza, Anadolu reports.
Around 40 demonstrators took part in the action on Friday, blocking the rail line between the Eurogate and Burchardkai container terminals. The group prevented freight transport by occupying the tracks for several hours.
Jule Fink, a spokesperson for the activists’ group, said they took part in civil disobedience to show solidarity with Palestine.
“It is clear that the Israeli government has been committing war crimes in Palestine for a long time. This is genocide, and the German government is actively complicit. Germany continues exporting weapons to Israel through its ports. Why do the people of Hamburg allow their port to be used for arms shipments?” she said.
Due to safety concerns, the 15,000-volt power lines above the tracks were grounded during the protest.
Some port workers showed support for the demonstration. The protest was ended by police officers who carried the activists off the tracks one by one.

Around one hundred reserve soldiers and officers in Israel have signed a letter claiming that several incidents during the war show a “decline in the values of the Israeli army,” including what they described as the erosion of the army’s “purity of arms” principle.
According to Israel’s public broadcaster KAN, the letter, addressed to Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, was signed by reservists with ranks up to lieutenant colonel. The signatories raised serious allegations about the conduct of Israeli forces in the field and the harm caused to civilians across various fronts during the war.
In the letter, the soldiers described what they called “a collapse in the values of the Israeli army,” writing: “During the fighting in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, there have been, and still are at times, incidents that do not reflect the spirit and values of the Israeli army—values on which we were raised and have educated those who serve under us.”
The reservists added: “Now, as the war draws to an end, we call on you to work to strengthen the moral values of the Israeli army and to firmly eliminate any conduct that contradicts the law, the army’s ethical code, and the procedures and directives issued over the past two years.”
Toward the end of the letter, they stressed: “Our military experience also proves that in many cases where discipline and adherence to the army’s values have collapsed, the operational effectiveness of our soldiers and our ability to win the war have also been damaged.”

The UN said Thursday that Israel rejected 107 requests for the entry of relief materials into the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 10 ceasefire, blocking essential humanitarian supplies, Anadolu reports.
“Our partners report that since the ceasefire, the Israeli authorities have rejected 107 requests for the entry of relief materials, including blankets, winter clothes and tools and materials to maintain and operate water, sanitation and hygiene services,” spokesperson Farhan Haq said during a news conference. “Almost 90% of these rejected requests were from over 330 local and international NGOs, of which more than half of the requests were denied on the grounds that the organizations were not authorized to bring relief items into Gaza.”
Emphasizing that the UN and its partners on the ground “can do more when other impediments are lifted,” Haq reported that “some relief items rejected for entry into Gaza are ones which Israeli authorities deem to fall outside the scope of humanitarian aid.”
“Other items are classified as dual-use, ranging from vehicles and their spare parts to solar panels, some types of mobile latrines, X-ray machines and generators,” he added.
Citing the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Haq noted that “continued detonations of residential buildings have been reported daily in multiple areas where the Israeli military remains deployed, especially in eastern Khan Younis, Eastern Gaza City and Rafah.”
Saying that Israeli strikes near the so-called “yellow line” continue, resulting in casualties, Haq stressed that “these military activities put civilians, including aid workers, at risk.”
He reminded “the Israeli military of its obligation to take constant care to spare them throughout its operations.”
The “yellow line” is the first withdrawal line outlined in the initial phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which took effect Oct. 10.
It separates areas still under Israeli military control in the east from those where Palestinians are permitted to move in the west.
On the continued movement of civilians across the enclave, Haq reported that “more than 680,000 movements from southern to northern Gaza have been observed since the onset of the ceasefire, while nearly 113,000 movements from western to eastern Khan Younis have also been reported.”
“However, our partners say that many displaced people have reported a desire to remain in their current locations due to widespread destruction, lack of alternatives and continued uncertainty about safety and services in their areas of origin,” he said.

Former EU representative to Palestine Sven Kuhn von Burgsdorff has called on Brussels to keep the threat of sanctions against Israel alive, warning that failure to act could jeopardize the future of a Palestinian state, Anadolu reports.
Von Burgsdorff on Thursday joined a group of former EU ambassadors who gathered outside the European Commission headquarters in Brussels.
The protest also drew participation from staff working in various EU institutions.
During his address, von Burgsdorff said that he and other former diplomats had repeatedly written to EU leaders, urging sanctions against Israel until a ceasefire was achieved.
He criticized his home country, Germany, for what he described as an indifferent stance on the issue.
Highlighting the ongoing Israeli attacks and civilian casualties in Gaza even after a declared ceasefire, he said: “This is not a real ceasefire.”
Von Burgsdorff warned: “If the EU and its member states do not act, in the coming months or years we will no longer be able to speak of a Palestinian state.”
He urged EU leaders to keep the sanctions proposed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to the European Council in October on the agenda and to take into account the rulings of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Addressing EU personnel directly, von Burgsdorff said, “We are former officials, but it is you who can influence the leaders,” calling on them to take action.
