More than half of the 11,000 Palestinians in Israeli custody were detained after October 7. They enter a prison system described by rights groups as a “vigilante organisation operating entirely outside both law and ethics”. On Monday, a 23-year-old man from Nablus became the latest Palestinian to die in an Israeli prison. Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith reports from Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

Funerals have been held in the occupied West Bank for six Palestinians. They were killed in an Israeli drone strike on the Nur Shams refugee camp, near Tulkarem city. Soldiers prevented ambulances from reaching the site. Israeli forces also detained 14 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. Al Jazeera’s Imran Khan has more from the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. A Palestinian paramedic has told Al Jazeera what he saw while responding to the overnight drone strike on the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem, which killed six Palestinians and injured many others. “I arrived at the place after hearing the first bomb”, said […]
Dozens of Palestinian bodies have been confiscated by Israel in the occupied West Bank, since the war began on October 7. Human rights organisations fear that many more are being taken away from Gaza and they may not be returned like several others whose remains have not been returned for years by Israeli authorities.

The US is taking increasingly assertive steps in trying to limit settler violence. First, the demand was made for Israel to control “extremist” violence. Following that, a visa ban was imposed last week on some individuals linked to this violence. Now, the shipment of 27,000 military-style rifles, initially destined for the Israeli national police, has been temporarily halted by the Biden administration. There are concerns that these weapons could end up in the hands of settlers. Notably, the pause comes after the shipment had already cleared the initial congressional review and passed the committee stage. Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro has the latest from Washington, DC.

The protracted Israeli military raid on Jenin and the Jenin refugee camp has surpassed the 24-hour mark with no signs of conclusion. The ongoing operation now stands as one of the “largest, longest” on the occupied West Bank since the commencement of Israel’s war on Gaza on October 7, sources reported. Reports from the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club suggest that up to 100 Palestinians may have been apprehended during the raid, with indications that approximately 30 of the initially detained individuals may have been released. Hospitals in the Jenin area have been encircled by Israeli forces, and accounts are suggesting that the obstruction of access to medical services may have resulted […]
The US State Department announced on Tuesday it is issuing travel bans on dozens of Israelis and some Palestinians for taking part in violence in the Occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank deny daily harassment, dismissing US concerns. Contrary to their claims, documented attacks have doubled since October 7, prompting travel bans for some settlers. While downplayed by settlers, the Biden administration’s move is seen as symbolic. NGOs supporting settlements may face scrutiny. Despite on-the-ground denials, escalating violence raises questions about further US intervention. Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane reports.

The US Department of State has said that it will impose visa restrictions on Israeli settlers involved in undermining peace, security or stability in the occupied West Bank. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the move on Tuesday, one day after the State Department said that Israel has not taken sufficient steps to address settler attacks that have driven many Palestinians off their land. President Joe Biden and other senior US officials have warned repeatedly that Israel must act to stop violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank, which has increased since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. Palestinians have described settler violence as one part […]
