Jerusalem Daily: Kites for Gaza

A Palestinian man is shot as Israeli forces and settlers invade farmland near Jenin, while military raids continue across the occupied West Bank. This is Jerusalem Daily, our series where we bring you the latest developments from inside Palestine and Israel. A Palestinian man was shot in the leg during a raid on the village of Faqua in the occupied West Bank. Those standing nearby rushed the injured man towards a car to get help. Israeli forces had arrived at the village northeast of Jenin and protected Israeli settlers as they raided Palestinian land in the area. Israeli soldiers also carried out violent raids across Jenin and its surrounding areas overnight. Military vehicles moved through the streets as soldiers deployed across several locations, including the village of al-Arqa west of Jenin. Local sources say Israeli forces also arrested a young Palestinian man during a raid on the al-Nasim area. Further south, Israeli forces stormed the area surrounding the Qalandia refugee camp north of occupied East Jerusalem. In Gaza, rescue operations continue as buildings damaged by Israeli strikes remain at risk of collapse. Overnight, civil defence crews evacuated this family and their children in Gaza City from their apartment which appeared heavily damaged and on the verge of caving in. Meanwhile, activists around the world are taking part in a pro-Palestine campaign called Kites for Gaza. On this Italian beach, activists attending the Venice Film Festival flew kites painted in colours of the Palestinian flag and featuring artwork from Palestinian children in Gaza. The aim is to raise awareness about the plight of Palestinian children, with the simple message, let children play. The campaign has even reached the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, with the world champion freediver Alessia Zuccini carrying kites made by children in Gaza to the seafloor. The campaign emerged after Israel's army said kites from Gaza posed a threat to Israel and launched intensified attacks as a result. The claims were met with widespread backlash, with critics accusing Israel of further encroaching on the rights of Palestinians to a normal life.
