Israeli soldiers protest base removal and launch West Bank raids

In the Negev desert, soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces' Givati Brigade refused a command to dismantle a memorial corner at Sde Teiman base, chanting slogans such as "all officers to hell" and leaving the installation before a 16:00 deadline was set for their return.

At the same time, Israeli troops carried out a series of raids across the West Bank, entering towns including Beit Fajjar, Hittin and Dura. Live ammunition wounded a 15‑year‑old boy in the foot, and tear‑gas and sound‑bombs were used in other locations. The operations are part of an intensified campaign that has caused thousands of Palestinian casualties since the conflict escalated in October 2023.
