Israeli forces arrest dozens of Palestinians, injure teen

Israeli forces have continued their aggression against Palestinians, abducting dozens of them and injuring a teenager in the occupied territories.

According to the latest local media reports, Israeliforces on Wednesday launched an attack against Palestinian protesters in the southern part of the West Bank city of Nablus, injuring a 14-year old Palestinian girl identified as Istabraq Ahmad Noor.

The Israeli forces reportedly arrested the injured Palestinian girl, who is from the village of Madama.

The Israeli forces also stormed the residential buildings belonging to the Palestinians in occupied East al-Quds (Jerusalem) and other places in the West Bank, arresting at least 34 people.

According to a report by the Palestinian Health Ministry, at least 51 Palestinians, including 12 children, have lost their lives in clashes with Israeli forces and settlers since the beginning of October.

The report also says that at least 5,561 Palestinians sustained injuries in the clashes in the same period.

Israeli forces killed two Palestinians near the city of al-Khalil (Hebron) in the southern West Bank on Tuesday. Israeli media claimed that the two Palestinians had been killed following attempted knife attacks.

The latest wave of tensions in the occupied Palestinian territories was triggered by the Israeli regimes imposition in August of restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque.

Palestinians are also angry at increasing violence by illegal Israeli settlers, who frequently storm the al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam. Palestinians say the Tel Aviv regime seeks to change the status quo of the compound.

Israelhas rejected a proposal for international observers to be deployed to the al-Aqsa compound.
