Israelis, Palestinians branded after army detention in West Bank
Palestinians report being marked with a number after an IDF operation in Qabatiyah.
In the West Bank, several Palestinians have reported being branded with a number on their foreheads and arms following an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) operation in Qabatiyah. Reports indicate that this incident occurred during a raid carried out by Israeli forces, raising concerns about their conduct.
Military leaders in Tel Aviv have stated that the soldiers "overreacted" in their actions, issuing a sort of apology for the incident. However, this has not quelled criticism regarding the treatment of Palestinians during military operations.
Meanwhile, violence from settlers continues, with reports of attacks and assaults even in the Gaza Strip.
