QALQILIA, October 4, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces violently assaulted several Palestinian citizens today during a raid on their homes in the village of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilia in the occupied West Bank.

Local sources reported to WAFA that the raid occurred following the weekly anti-colonization protest in Kafr Qaddum. Israeli troops stormed multiple homes, physically assaulting a citizen, his wife, and their son, as well as another citizen, after searching their homes and tampering with their belongings.

Additionally, the sources indicated that Israeli forces obstructed worshippers from reaching the Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Mosque in the village to perform Friday prayers, surrounding the mosque area. This led to confrontations, during which soldiers fired stun grenades and tear gas, although no injuries were reported.
