Silwan, a town located south of occupied Jerusalem, witnessed a fire breaking out in a Palestinian residential house last night, July 12, 2023, as a result of actions by the Israeli occupation forces.
Local sources reported that the Israeli occupation forces stormed Silwan, leading to confrontations in which they fired toxic gas canisters towards Palestinians and their homes.
This resulted in a fire breaking out in one of the Palestinian houses.
The exact cause of the fire and the extent of the damage are yet to be determined.
However, it is believed that the use of toxic gas canisters by the Israeli forces played a significant role in the incident.
The Israeli occupation forces’ incursions into the town and their aggressive tactics have been a source of concern for the Palestinians.
Silwan witnesses frequent attacks by IOF and Israeli settlers.
