Israeli forces kill Palestinian man during occupied West Bank raid

The Wafa news agency says Jassem Ibrahim al-Sada, 20, was killed during a raid on the town of Jit, near Qalqilya in the West Bank. Members of his family told Wafa that Israeli soldiers broke down the door of their home and opened fire, killing the young man on the spot.

Israeli forces are very active in the occupied West Bank this morning, with large raids taking place in the towns of Zeita, Madama and el-Bireh, among others.


Mapping Israel’s military campaign in the occupied West Bank

Israel is applying many of the tactics used in its war on Gaza to seize and control territory across the occupied West Bank during its Iron Wall campaign, a new report says.

Israel launched the operation in January. Defending what the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) termed “by far the longest and most destructive operation in the occupied West Bank since the second intifada in the 2000s”, the Israeli military claimed its intention was to preserve its “freedom of action” within the Palestinian territory as it continued to rip up roads and destroy buildings, infrastructure, and water and electricity lines.

The report by the British research group Forensic Architecture suggested Israel has imposed what researchers call a system of “spatial control”, essentially a series of mechanisms that allow it to deploy military units across Palestinian territory at will.

Israeli army says it confiscated $2m in West Bank money exchange raids

The Israeli army has said it confiscated more than 7 million shekels ($2m) during raids on money exchanges in the West Bank yesterday, which killed at least one Palestinian and wounded more than 30.

It added that 30 wanted individuals had been arrested during the military operation. On Tuesday, the army claimed it targeted foreign exchanges on suspicions that the shops supported “terrorism”.
