Israeli special forces have infiltrated the Jabal an-Nasr area in the Nur Shams refugee camp, east of Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank, and arrested four men after besieging their homes.
The al-Quds Brigades –Tulkarem Battalion said its fighters opened fire on Israeli forces in Jabal an-Nasr, while also detonating an explosive device on an Israeli military vehicle, achieving “confirmed casualties”.
Israeli military raids have been reported in other locations across the occupied West Bank, including:
- The town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya, where Israeli forces have detained a Palestinian man
- Faqqua village, east of Jenin, where a minor was wounded by shrapnel
Israeli military carries out more arrests in West Bank raid
Earlier, we reported that Israeli forces arrested a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya. Palestinian media outlets are now reporting that four brothers have been arrested during that ongoing raid of Azzun.
It’s not immediately clear if the original arrest is included in that figure.
Israeli forces raid town near occupied West Bank’s Bethlehem
Israeli forces raided the town of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, and stationed troops in three different areas, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports. Soldiers launched sound bombs and tear gas canisters towards residents and their homes, it added, without reporting any injuries.
Israeli forces often raid Palestinian towns and villages across the West Bank and carry out large-scale arrest campaigns. They also often wound and kill Palestinian residents during these incursions, which have intensified in frequency since October 2023.
