Israeli occupation forces raided a Palestinian family's home in al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank, resulting in injuries and a fire. Soldiers reportedly beat members of the Muhammad Hamed Abu Aliya family and fired tear gas canisters inside their residence, causing several individuals, including an elderly man with a heart condition, to suffer from suffocation. The tear gas also ignited a blaze at the entrance of the house, which was extinguished by Civil Defense crews.
