Israeli forces raid villages and towns across the West Bank

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that Israeli forces have stormed a number of villages and towns across the occupied West Bank.

They included:

  • The city of Tulkarem
  • The villages of Tal and Sarra, west of Nablus
  • The town of Beita, south of Nablus
  • The town of Abu Dis, east of occupied Jerusalem


Israeli forces make arrests in multiple West Bank raids

We earlier reported Israeli raids in Tulkarem, Nablus and Jerusalem. Several more raids have since been carried out across the West Bank, according to Wafa news agency and other local media outlets:

  • Israeli special forces infiltrated the town of Tammun southeast of Tubas and raided two homes, calling for reinforcements.
  • Israeli soldiers arrested four Palestinians in two villages in Jenin, including three members of the same family, with a fourth member instructed to turn himself in.
  • Several towns and villages north of Hebron were targeted by soldiers, and one was attacked by settlers, while entrances to the city of Hebron were closed.
  • A 26-year-old freed prisoner was detained for several hours and beaten at a military checkpoint near the town of Tuqu south of Bethlehem.
