Caught on cam: Hamas militants obliterate Israeli military bulldozer in Nour Shams camp | TOI Original

The Israel-Hamas conflict is rapidly escalating in West Bank settlements. In a recent surprise attack, Palestinian resistance destroyed an IDF bulldozer engaged in a raid on a Hamas member’s house, prompting Israeli forces to drag away the damaged machine. Earlier, IDF’s civilian arrest campaigns led to confrontations with Hamas, resulting in the alleged arrest of 20 Palestinians, mainly freed prisoners. Human rights groups accuse Israel of discriminatory building permit practices, favoring Jewish-only settlements in the West Bank. Tensions persist across the West Bank since Israel’s military offensive, with the Palestine Health Ministry reporting 419 killed and 4,500 injured by the Israeli army since October 7. Last month, the IDF demolished 51 Palestinian structures in the West Bank.
