The Israeli occupation forces stormed several cities and towns in the West Bank, and carried out a massive arrest campaign, amid armed clashes that took place between Palestinian resistance fighters and the invading forces.
Israeli forces stormed the city of Jenin and arrested a number of Palestinians, leading to the outbreak of armed clashes.
The Jenin Brigade, affiliated with the Al-Quds Brigades, said that its resistance fighters clashed with the invading forces in the eastern region, and ambushed an Israeli squad.
In turn, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades – the military wing of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) – confirmed that its fighters clashed with the occupation forces in the areas where they were deployed in Jenin.
The Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Dura, south of Hebron, raided several areas and set up barriers. They also stormed the city of Halhul, north of Hebron, and confiscated a large number of Palestinian vehicles in conjunction with the storming of the city of Hebron from its northwestern entrance.
A young man was injured and bruised after the Israeli occupation forces beat him at the northern entrance to the city of Hebron.
The Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank and besieged the Jaidi neighborhood in the center of the city. They also raided a house and arrested the mother of the young man, Tariq Daoud, for the sixth time in a row, in order to pressure her son to surrender himself on the grounds that he was wanted on charges of resisting the occupation.
The occupation forces also stormed several towns, cities and regions during the last hours, including the town of Al-Issawiya, east of occupied Jerusalem, which the occupation forces stormed amid heavy firing of gas bombs.
Local sources reported that the raid took place after suspicions of throwing a Molotov cocktail, which led to a fire near the Israeli Ofrit camp, and spread to the Hebrew University area on Mount Scopus, north of the town.
Israeli police said they were searching for suspects who caused the fire.
Arrests
The Israeli occupation forces released 3 children from the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, whom they arrested two days ago after paying a fine. One of the released children told Tel Aviv Tribune that they were severely beaten during the arrest process and were held in difficult conditions.
The occupation forces raided the homes of the three children, abused their families, and left their homes in ruins before arresting them.
The occupation army has arrested 9,385 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since the start of the aggression against the Gaza Strip on October 7, according to a statement issued Tuesday by the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club.
It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip with American support since the seventh of last October, which has so far led to the fall of about 124,000 martyrs and wounded, most of whom are children and women, and more than 10,000 are missing, amid massive destruction and famine. It claimed the lives of dozens of children.
In conjunction with its war on Gaza, the occupation escalated its attacks in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, which left 553 Palestinian martyrs, including 133 children, and about 5,300 wounded, according to the Ministry of Health.
