Israeli forces carry out raids, make arrests near Tulkarem, Nablus, Ramallah

Israeli forces have carried out numerous raids across the occupied West Bank, using live ammunition and making arrests, according to the Wafa news agency.

Wafa said Israeli troops raided several homes in the town of Anabta, east of Tulkarem, and detained three young men. In the town of Kobar, near Ramallah, they arrested two people and closed the main entrance to a nearby town that thousands rely on.

In al-Ein refugee camp near Nablus, an elderly Palestinian was injured by Israeli gunfire, Wafa added.

Israeli forces have arrested 10 people, including a 17-year-old, in operations in the occupied West Bank’s Bethlehem governorate, the Wafa news agency is reporting.

Quoting a security source, Wafa reported that Israeli forces had stormed the town of al-Khader, about 5km (3 miles) west of Bethlehem, and raided several houses, detaining nine men. A father and son were among those arrested.

Another raid took place in Beit Fajjar, about 8km (5 miles) south of Bethlehem, where a 17-year-old boy was arrested.
