Israel military raids West Bank camps
AP image RAMALLAH: Israeli troops raided two Palestinian refugee camps in the occupied West Bank's north overnight, the military told AFP, as Israel presses offensives on multiple fronts. The military told AFP that at "around 4:00 am Israeli forces entered Balata camp", near the northern city of Nablus, for "a routine counter-terrorism operation". It added that the troops had been deployed to the nearby Askar camp prior to the operation in Balata camp. Imad Zaki, head of the popular services committee of Balata camp, also told AFP that the military began its raid at 4:00 am (0100 GMT) on Wednesday. "They closed all entrances to the camp, seized several homes after evicting their residents, and ordered the homeowners not to return for 72 hours. These homes were turned into military outposts and interrogation centres," Zaki said. "The soldiers are conducting house-to-house and neighbourhood-to-neighbourhood searches, destroying the contents of homes and physically assaulting the residents," Zaki told AFP. He added that life had been "largely paralysed" for the camp's residents but that no injuries were reported. In a separate statement, the military said that its forces had "neutralised" one Palestinian overnight in the West Bank village of Al-Walaja near Jerusalem. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo They said that as the troops were deployed in the area, a Palestinian armed with a knife "attempted to stab (Israeli) soldiers who were operating in the area and steal their weapons". "The soldiers responded with fire and neutralised the terrorist," the army said, using a term it normally uses when someone has been killed. The Israeli military said Tuesday that its forces had been active in various parts of the Jenin area, in the northern West Bank. It said in a statement that its forces had arrested five Palestinian militants suspected of planning attacks on Israel. Throughout the Gaza war, violence in the West Bank -- a separate Palestinian territory -- has soared, as have calls to annex it, most notably from Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. Since the start of the war in October 2023, Israeli troops or settlers have killed at least 939 Palestinians, including many militants, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Over the same period, at least 35 Israelis including civilians and soldiers have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military raids, according to official Israeli figures.

Supreme Court grants protection to minor girl forced into child marriage
New Delhi [India], June 18 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted relief to a minor girl, aged 16, who was forced into child marriage and directed the Bihar and Delhi Police to ensure the safety of the girl and her friend. The girl approaching the apex court has said that her family had married her off to a 32-33-year-old contractor on December 9, 2024, from whom they had taken a loan. A bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manmohan also issued notices to the Bihar and Delhi governments. It asked the DGP of Bihar and the Police Commissioner of Delhi to provide full security to the girl and her friend and ensure no harm is caused to them. The bench also sought a status report from the police. It further directed that the police have to be in touch with the girl and her friend so that, in case of emergency, necessary assistance can be provided to them. The girl, a resident of Bihar, filed a petition in the apex court through her friend, saying that her family forcibly married her off and she has been subjected to physical abuse and harassment by her in-laws. The teenager stated that she recently appeared for her Class 10 Board exams and wishes to continue her studies, but her in-laws are not agreeable to it. She has appealed to the apex court to protect her from her family and husband and sought annulment of her forced marriage under the Child Marriage Prohibition Act, 2006. The girl further explained that she willingly ran away from home with a friend. However, her family has now filed a kidnapping case against her friend, concealing the fact that her daughter was married. The petition said that her husband has been pursuing the case personally and has told people in Madhopur village that he would not mind going to jail after killing her. The petition stated, 'The Petitioner is presently on the run with a friend (Saurabh Kumar) and fears they would be killed if they returned back to Bihar or were apprehended in the hunt launched for them.' According to the plea, her husband, a civil contractor, claimed that the girl's parents were indebted to them and she would have to continue in the marriage rather than go for further studies to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher or a lawyer. She sought protection from any coercive action by police till the matter is finally decided by law. (ANI)
