Israeli Forces Detain Dozens of Palestinians in West Bank Raids
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Israeli occupation forces launched widespread raids across various areas of the West Bank and northern occupied Jerusalem overnight, detaining a number of Palestinians.
Local sources reported that Israeli forces stormed the town of Silat al-Harithiya in Jenin Governorate and the student residential area of the Arab American University in Jenin city.
The Israeli army also raided the village of Kafr Qud in western Jenin, storming the home of Tareq Ghanem and arresting the young Palestinian man. In Nablus Governorate, Israeli forces raided the village of Tell in the southwest of the city, arresting Salem Yassin Asida after storming his home.
Occupation forces also raided the Al-Masaken Al-Shaabiya neighborhood in eastern Nablus and the Ain Kakoub area, arresting Rami Al-Tairawi during the raid on Ain Kakoub. The Roujib area, east of Nablus, was also targeted by Israeli soldiers, who arrested Atallah Hashash during the operation. In Tulkarm Governorate, occupation forces entered the town of Balaa, east of Tulkarm. In Qalqilya, they raided the town of Azzun, east of the city, and searched a number of Palestinian homes.
Simultaneously, a group of Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian gathering of Yarza, east of the village of Tamir, in eastern Tubas. Local sources also reported Israeli forces raiding the town of Al-Ram, north of occupied Jerusalem, with occupation forces bringing bulldozers and demolition equipment to the area.
Israeli bulldozers on Wednesday demolished a horse stable in the Al-Qubti neighborhood of Al-Ram town, north of occupied Jerusalem. Local sources reported that occupation forces raided the area accompanied by military bulldozers and commenced demolition operations. This action is reportedly part of ongoing aggressions aimed at confiscating Palestinian property and displacing residents.
Sources indicated that the demolition and excavation operations are conducted within the framework of the occupation authorities’ policy to pressure property owners and vacate densely populated Palestinian areas in occupied Jerusalem to facilitate the expansion of illegal settlements.
