Israeli forces ignited a devastating fire at Ramallah and al-Bireh's main vegetable market in the occupied West Bank on Thursday that has destroyed dozens of shops owned by Palestinians and caused millions of shekels in losses.

Troops raided the neighbouring West Bank cities at dawn, firing live ammunition, stun grenades and tear gas in residential areas and the local market, known locally as al-Hisbah.

Wooden carts caught on fire and the flames spread throughout the market and to nearby commercial buildings, wounding at least one person and ravaging over 100 stalls and shops, according to al-Bireh's acting mayor, Robin al-Khatib.

How can any world government still uphold “Israel's need to defend itself” at this point?

Has nothing to do with Hamas.

According to the Israeli government and its supporters ,its's always Hamas.

  • The thousands of dead kids in Gaza? They were Hamas.
  • The fruits? Hamas.
  • Global warming? Hamas.
  • Covid? Hamas' made.
  • Your lost sock? Hamas.

The melons could have been Hamas fighters really. You can't prove that they weren't /s
