Qabatiya raid and UN appeal West Bank tensions persist

Oct 9–10

The West Bank roundup cites media reporting an Israeli special unit entering Qabatiya in civilian clothing and Palestinian civilian vehicles, surrounding a residential building and arresting a young man, whose destination is unknown. It reports wider raids and a Palestinian Health Ministry announcement of a young man's fatal shooting near Nabi Yunis north of Hebron the previous night. The presidency seeks an urgent UN Security Council meeting and international protection; spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh calls for deterrent measures against raids, killings, destruction and forced displacement and reaffirms Palestinian statehood with East Jerusalem as capital.

The Palestinian presidency calls for an emergency UN Security Council meeting and international protection against escalating settler and Israeli-force attacks, raids, killings, destruction and forced displacement. Oman TV relays Nabil Abu Rudeineh's request for deterrent measures and reaffirmation of Palestinian national rights. Amal Marar later describes the appeal and says Palestinian support and international steps have not halted the attacks; this does not establish that a Council meeting occurred.
