The occupation army launched a campaign of arrests and extensive field investigations targeting dozens of Palestinians on Monday morning in West Bank cities, while a young man was injured by Israeli forces’ bullets in Nablus, amid clashes erupting in Tubas.
The occupation forces conducted field investigations in Kafr Ni’ma, west of Ramallah, and Silwad, east of it, targeting about 80 people. They released some of them and arrested others, without accurate information about the number of detainees, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club.
From what could be confirmed, Israeli forces arrested 12 Palestinians, including children and a woman, since last night during raids on West Bank cities, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club.
For its part, the Palestinian News Agency explained that the occupation stormed the town of Silwad and arrested 29 Palestinians, including children, after abusing them during a raid and search of their families’ homes.
She pointed out that Israeli forces stormed Kafr Ni’ma to the west and arrested about 30 Palestinians, in an unprecedented arrest campaign.

Arrest of a child
Eyewitnesses reported that the occupation soldiers assaulted a number of detainees and destroyed their homes after tampering with their contents.
The occupation forces also arrested the wounded child, Muhammad Munther Al-Zaqiq, from the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron in the West Bank, after raiding his house.
The 12-year-old child was injured by bullets from the occupation forces last week, and his arrest comes one day after the arrest of 3 other children in the town.
The Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority reported that 450 minor children are languishing in Israeli occupation prisons, detention centers and camps.
She added that the largest number of minor detainees are in Ofer Military Prison, estimated at 270, and the rest are in Sharon and Megiddo prisons.
The authority explained that a number of detainees are still in detention centers and that their ages range between 13 and 17 years, and that 9 of them were sentenced to administrative detention.

Intrusions
The Israeli occupation forces, reinforced with a number of military vehicles and two bulldozers, also stormed the city of Tubas and the vicinity of Al-Far’a camp in the northeastern West Bank.
Heavy gunfire was heard during the storming operation, during which resistance fighters threw homemade explosive devices at military vehicles in the Wadi Al-Faraa area.
The Israeli occupation forces also stormed the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank from the Al-Tur checkpoint.
Also in Nablus, a Palestinian was injured by live bullets in the foot, while witnesses said that confrontations broke out between occupation soldiers and Palestinians in the center of the city.
In conjunction with its war on Gaza since October 7, the army and settlers escalated their attacks on the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, which left 548 martyrs, about 5,200 wounded, and more than 9,185 Palestinian detainees.
