Occupation kills a Palestinian in Rafah and closes crossings.. Settlers assault Beit Ummar municipality crews
A Palestinian citizen was martyred and others were injured by an Israeli drone strike in the Mawasi area of Rafah. Settlers assaulted Beit Ummar municipality crews and prevented them from restoring electricity. The occupation army set up a checkpoint in Bethlehem. The closure of crossings for the fourth day has sharply raised commodity prices in Gaza, and some kitchens have stopped providing food.
A Palestinian citizen was martyred and others were injured on Saturday as a result of an Israeli drone strike on the Mawasi area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa. In the West Bank, settlers assaulted workers from the electricity department of the Beit Ummar municipality north of Hebron while they were working in the Wadi al-Sheikh area, preventing them from connecting electricity to a house. In Bethlehem, occupation forces stormed the Khallat al-Louz area southeast of the city, set up a military checkpoint, and stopped and searched citizens' vehicles. In Gaza, the closure of crossings continues for the fourth consecutive day, leading to a decline in the supply of basic goods and a rise in their prices. Wafa quoted displaced people detailing the sharp price increases: a kilo of potatoes from 5 to 13 shekels, tomatoes from 6 to 15 shekels, poultry from 20 to 25 shekels, a bag of flour from 60 to 95 shekels, and a bag of sugar from 170 to 230 shekels. One soup kitchen also stopped distributing food daily due to a shortage of basic materials, and the world kitchen stopped providing meals in the area, exacerbating the suffering of the displaced.
