WEST BANK, PALESTINE - AUG. 7: The Israeli army bombed a Palestinian prisoner’s family home in the occupied West Bank on Thursday (Aug. 7), the official Palestinian news agency Wafa said.

The Israeli army raided the southern West Bank city of Hebron with a large number of soldiers and bombed the house of Palestinian detainee Abdurrahim al-Haymuni's family with explosives, according to the agency.

The Israeli army also fired at Palestinian homes and vehicles, throwing stun grenades and tear gas.

Since Israel launched its attack on the Gaza Strip on October 2023, there has been an increase in arrests, raids, and attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Israel widely uses the pretext of a lack of construction permits to demolish Palestinian homes, especially in Area C in the occupied West Bank, which is under Israel’s administrative and security control and constitutes around 60% of the West Bank.

Under the 1995 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, was divided into three portions – Area A, B, and C.

At least 962 Palestinians have been killed and over 7,000 others injured in attacks by the Israeli army and illegal settlers in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023, according to Palestinian figures.

In July 2024, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's decades-long occupation of Palestinian land illegal and demanded the evacuation of all existing settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
