RAMALLAH, Monday, April 25, 2022 (WAFA) – News about the ongoing violations committed by the Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip hit the front pages of the three Arabic Palestinian dailies on Monday.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida, al-Quds and al-Ayyam said that three Palestinians workers were shot, wounded and arrested by Israeli occupation soldiers near the Israeli segregation barrier to the west of Tulkarm city, north of the occupied West Bank.

The papers said that the workers were trying to access their workplace inside Israel via an opening in the Israeli segregation barrier when soldiers opened gunfire at them, injuring them.

The dailies said that the Israel occupation's navy opened fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen as they were sailing off the shores of Khan Yunis and Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, forcing them to return to the shore. The Israeli navy fired live bullets towards fishermen who were sailing approximately six nautical miles away from the shore, forcing them to stop fishing and return to the shore.

Additionally, a group of Israeli settlers uprooted and stole nearly 35 olive saplings after sneaking into the village of Azmut, to the east of Nablus in the north of the occupied West Bank, said the dailies, which reported that residents of the village were shocked in the morning after finding out that 35 olive saplings were uprooted by a group of Israeli settlers who sneaked into a northern outskirt of the village the previous night.

According to the papers, Israeli settlers attacked a number of Palestinians in the village of Qaryut, south of Nablus.

They said that several settlers, under the protection of the Israeli army, physically assaulted a number of Palestinian residents while they were present near a water spring to the southeast of the village.

Al-Ayyam said that the Israeli occupation’s district court in Lod, inside Israel, sentenced 46-year-old Palestinian prisoner Khalil Dweikat, from the village of Rujeib near Nablus, to a lifetime in jail and to pay a high fine of 258 thousand Shekels (approximately 78 thousand dollars).

Hundreds of protesters took part in a rally yesterday at Wells & South Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago in protest of the recent Israeli raids on the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, as reported in al-Hayat al-Jadida.

Al-Ayyam and al-Quds said that the Israeli authorities closed the Beit Hanoun crossing to Palestinian workers in the Gaza Strip.

The dailies said that Emmanuel Macron has won France's presidential elections.
