Bloody raids in the West Bank: a dead man and over 30 injuries!

Israeli Forces searched several money exchange offices in cities such as Nablus, Ramallah and Hebron. These actions on May 27, 2025 led to at least one death and over 30 injuries, as the Ramallah-based Ministry of Health reported. The operations accompanied by sharp ammunition and tear gas were attacked, among other things, two shops, including the Al-Khaleej Exchange Company and a fashion in Nablus. The situation was particularly poured in Nablus, where there are reportedly smoke bombs thrown in Jenin and streets were blocked in Tubas and Bethlehem.

The Al Jazera reported that eleven people in Nablus were wounded by shots, while 20 other cases of Tearing gas-insult were treated. In addition, a piece of paper was left at one of the attacked locations where connections to terrorist organizations were claimed. An Israeli civil servant expressed that there was a lack of hard evidence, but there was a credible assumption that the change of money had led to terrorist groups.

reactions and international dimension

These military actions are part of a variety of offensive measures that Israel has taken against Gaza since October 7, 2023, where over 54,000 Palestinians have already lost their lives. The military offensive is increasingly critically viewed internationally. Leading politicians from Great Britain, France and Canada condemned the “serious actions” of Israel, warning that consequences could threaten if Israel does not contain his aggression.

President Biden, in a television speech, spoke out for military help to Israel and emphasized the complexity of the situation in the House of Representatives, which is currently characterized by political disagreements. Some international actors, including Deutschlandfunk , report that Brazil, as the current chairman of the UN Security Council, has called for an urgency session to discuss the ongoing attacks.

demands and political pressure

Hamas has sharply condemned the raids and denounced a further attack on the Palestinian economy. Palestinian authority was asked to react and to cease security cooperation with Israel. The Palestinian Mujahid movement also described the raids as part of a continuing war against the Palestinians.

In this tense situation, the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip will continue to be tightened. The burdens from the ongoing conflicts and the blockade of humanitarian aid are increasingly becoming the focus of international discussions. It is discussed how western nations can find effective answers to the ongoing military operations, including the recognition of a Palestinian state or a complete stop of the weapon sale to Israel.
