Israeli forces raid village in occupied West Bank six times today: Report
Palestinian news agency Wafa is reporting that the village of al-Lubban Asharqiya, near Nablus in the north of the occupied West Bank, has been raided six times by the Israeli military.
Local sources told Wafa that several young Palestinian men were detained during the raids. Israeli soldiers also fired live ammunition and stun grenades, according to the report.
Palestinians in the West Bank have experienced a surge in Israeli military and settler violence amid the war in Gaza. The northern West Bank has been particularly hard-hit, with thousands of people forcibly displaced from their homes.

US senators slam Netanyahu as Israel bombs, starves Gaza
Chris Van Hollen and Elizabeth Warren, two Democrats in the US Senate, have urged the world to pay attention to what Israel continues to do in Gaza amid its conflict with Iran.
“Don’t look away,” Van Hollen wrote on X. “Since the start of the Israel-Iran war 7 days ago, over 400 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, many shot while seeking food. It’s unconscionable that Netanyahu has not allowed international orgs to resume food delivery.”
For her part, Warren said the Israeli prime minister “may think no one will notice what he’s doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran”.
“People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food. The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu,” she wrote.
