Israeli forces raid Bethlehem, Hebron and Nablus
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that Israeli forces have raided several towns, cities and camps in the north and south of the occupied West Bank.
Here’s where the early morning raids have been reported:
- Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank where Israeli military vehicles patrolled the streets and raided homes after storming the city through the Murabba’a checkpoint.
- Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank
- The al-Azza refugee camp in Bethlehem, in the southern occupied West Bank
- The town of al-Khader, also in Bethlehem
At least 33 Palestinians have been killed in an ongoing Israeli assault on the occupied West Bank, which has included a deadly siege on Jenin, in the north.
Children among six arrested, injured in West Bank raids
Israeli forces have arrested five Palestinians during raids in Nablus and Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, the Wafa news agency is reporting. Three people were arrested in Nablus, where a young man was also shot and injured by Israeli forces, Wafa reports.
In the town of al-Khader, in Bethlehem, two 15-year-old Palestinian boys were arrested after Israeli forces raided and searched their parents’ homes, Wafa added.
UN expert says Israel is continuing ‘extermination campaign’ in West Bank
Balakrishnan Rajagopal, the UN special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, has decried the Israeli army’s continuing assault on the occupied West Bank.
“What the Israeli army is doing in Jenin and other locations in the West Bank is a continuation of the extermination campaign it has been waging in Gaza,” Rajagopal wrote in a post on X.
“What’s the justification and the end game here?” he asked. “When will the rest of the world and the Israeli public say, enough!”
