Israeli Forces Conduct New Raids, Arrests in Occupied West Bank
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Israeli forces have carried out fresh raids and arrests in the cities of Hebron (Al-Khalil) and Nablus in the occupied West Bank, as reported by the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
Two additional Palestinians have been arrested in the cities of Ramallah and el-Bireh, with a young man reportedly subjected to severe beating in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem al-Quds, according to the agency.
Clashes erupted last night between Israeli forces and Palestinians in Nablus's Beit Furik neighborhood, resulting in two injuries reported by Wafa.
This recent incursion follows a previous day's incident where five individuals were killed near Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank.
Security sources cited by the agency revealed that a citizen was detained in Hebron's Sheikh neighborhood following a house search by Israeli troops. Additionally, raids were conducted in Beit Ummar, Surif, and the Arroub refugee camp in northern Hebron.
In Nablus, an elderly man, previously detained and released, has been taken into custody again from his residence on at-Taawon Street, local sources informed Wafa. Meanwhile, in the Rafidia and Nablus neighborhood, Israeli forces raided residential buildings and villages, although gunfire was heard.
The recent escalation of aggression in the West Bank by the Israeli regime notably commenced on October 7, coinciding with the onset of a devastating war in the Gaza Strip. As a result, approximately 500 Palestinians have been killed across the occupied territory.
More than 34,600 people, predominantly women and children, have been killed in the Gaza Strip.
