Israeli Army Restricts Access to Palestinian Villages After Gunfire

The Israeli army imposed lockdowns on several Palestinian villages in the West Bank, including Nilin, Bilin, and Kharbatha Bani Harith, after gunfire targeted a military checkpoint in Nilin. Israeli forces detained a Palestinian in Safa on suspicion of the shooting, which was later determined to be related to hunting. Since October 2023, over 1,100 Palestinians have been killed, with significant injuries and detentions reported. The International Court of Justice has declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories illegal, calling for the evacuation of settlements.
