HEBRON, July 31, 2025 (WAFA) – A 6-month-old baby girl suffered from tear gas inhalation on Thursday after being shot by Israeli forces during a raid on the village of Tabqa, southwest of Hebron.

Eight others were detained from several villages and towns in the Hebron district.

WAFA correspondent reported that Israeli forces stormed the village of Tabqa, southwest of Hebron, raided several homes, and fired tear gas canisters at them. A 6-month-old baby girl suffered from tear gas inhalation and was given medical treatment.

Media activist Mohammad Awad told WAFA that Israeli occupation forces stormed several neighborhoods in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, raided several homes, deliberately smashing their doors and destroying their contents.

They used dogs to search citizens' belongings and arrested Awni Ahmad al-Alami, 48, and his son Ahmad, 18, Nour Khaled Ikhlil, 17, and Ibrahim Muhammad Adi, 35, after assaulting him and seizing his vehicle.

In the village of Umm al-Khair in the Masafer Yatta area, activist Osama Makhamreh reported that Israeli occupation forces stormed the village, raided citizens' homes, searched them, and ransacked their contents. They arrested Omar Suleiman al-Hathalin, Ajdi' al-Hathalin, Alaa al-Hathalin, and Omar al-Hathalin.

He added that an armed group of settlers attacked Khirbet Maghayer al-Ubaid and attempted to steal a flock of sheep belonging to citizen Shahada al-Makhareh. They threatened his family with deportation.

It is worth noting that the village of Umm al-Khair and other villages and residential communities in the Masafer Yatta area are subjected to continuous attacks by the occupation forces and armed settler groups.

This resulted in the killing of activist and teacher Awda al-Hathalin, 31, by a bullet fired at point-blank range by a settler last Monday.
