In the West Bank, Israeli settlers threw stones at Palestinian-owned vehicles driving on a road near Bethlehem, causing damage. Using live ammunition, Israeli forces injured 2 Palestinians who were trying to enter Israel from the West Bank near the separation barrier in Nazlat Issa. In East Jerusalem, a Palestinian man started demolishing his own home in Jabal Mukabir to avoid exorbitant Israeli demolition fees. In Gaza, Israeli forces opened fire on agricultural lands on 2 separate occasions; during 1 of these events, a tilling machine was damaged with live ammunition, otherwise no injuries were reported.
