Israeli military operations in the occupied West Bank intensified on Sunday, with troops wounding a Palestinian man during a raid on the Qalandiya refugee camp north of East Jerusalem.
The operation coincided with the issuance of demolition notices for 10 Palestinian homes and structures in the area, signaling a hardening of security measures amid ongoing unrest.
The escalation follows a pattern of increasing violence in the region, including recent attacks by extremist Israeli settlers on Palestinian residents and foreign volunteers.
Those incidents resulted in multiple injuries, including to an elderly man, according to Palestinian media reports.
The convergence of military raids, demolition orders, and settler violence underscores the fragility of the security situation in the West Bank.
For markets, the deepening instability in the Middle East serves as a persistent risk factor, particularly for energy and shipping sectors sensitive to regional disruptions.
