Israeli Settlers Obstruct and Attack Palestinian Ambulances in Turmus Ayya and Sinjil; Three Palestinians Shot Dead Near Ramallah

Israeli settlers have repeatedly obstructed and attacked Palestinian ambulances in the occupied West Bank, particularly in the Ramallah area. On June 25, settlers blocked a Red Crescent ambulance en route to evacuate wounded Palestinians in the town of Turmus Ayya following settler-led attacks supported by Israeli soldiers. At least three Palestinians were shot dead during these incidents. Similar obstruction occurred in the town of Kafr Malik. In early July, Israeli settlers deliberately obstructed an ambulance transporting an injured person from the village of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, and later attacked the ambulance by pelting it with stones and breaking its windows while it was transferring wounded individuals. These attacks coincided with violent confrontations between Palestinian youths and settlers. Additionally, clashes erupted between Palestinian youths and Israeli forces in the village of Osarin near Nablus. The escalation followed reports of Palestinians throwing rocks at Israeli civilians near Sinjil, further intensifying tensions in the area.
