Israeli forces arrest 16 Palestinians in occupied West Bank
Al Jazeera Arabic is reporting that Israeli forces rounded up 16 people following a raid in the village of Kobar, north of Ramallah.
Those arrested include former prisoner Hanan Barghouti.
The 59-year-old is the sister of the longest-held Palestinian prisoner, Nael Barghouti, who was released after 44 years in an Israeli jail and exiled to Egypt in February. She spent nine months in administrative detention, without any charges, last year.
Israeli forces also reportedly carried out arrests in ad-Dhahiriya, south of Hebron.
Israeli army levels Palestinian land in northern occupied West Bank: Report
Wafa news agency reports that Israeli bulldozers were razing land belonging to Palestinians earlier this morning between the towns of Kifl Haris and Haris, northwest of Salfit in the occupied West Bank.
The report cited Omar Samara, a local authority figure, who said that Israeli troops started levelling large areas of agricultural land owned by residents of Haris, intending to annexe more land for illegal settlements in the area.
Israeli authorities have been stepping up land-grabbing operations, land destruction and house demolition across the Palestinian territory since the establishment of Israel’s government, the most right wing in its history, which counts settlers themselves among its ministers.
In 2024, Israel illegally claimed 24.7sq km (9.54sq miles) of Palestinian land, exceeding the total land seized over the past 20 years combined.
Israeli forces conduct large-scale arrest campaign in occupied West Bank
At least 50 Palestinians, including minors, women and previously released prisoners, have been detained by Israeli forces in the past 24 hours, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic report.
Sources told Al Jazeera the arrest campaign was concentrated in the town of Kobar, north of Ramallah, where at least 24 people were arrested. Approximately 16 of these were identified, including former prisoner Hanan Barghouti and other former prisoners.
The home of Nael Barghouti – the longest-serving Palestinian inmate in an Israeli prison, who was released in late February and deported to Egypt – was turned into military barracks and an interrogation centre for dozens of Palestinians, they said.
Israeli forces also stormed the city of ad-Dhahiriya, south of Hebron, at dawn today, searching Palestinian homes and arresting 10 Palestinians, including three members of the municipal council.
Among other locations, arrests took place in the cities of Azzun and Bethlehem, and the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus. As of April this year, Israel had imprisoned about 9,792 Palestinians, 3,498 of whom are detained without charges.
