Israeli troops reportedly attacked Palestinians with live and rubber-coated metal bullets, stun grenades, and tear gas, causing several injuries with live bullets and dozens of suffocation cases due to tear gas inhalation.

Additionally, Israeli forces detained the owner of a shop in the area.

In parallel with the war in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army escalated its incursions into cities, towns and refugee camps in the West Bank.
