The occupation forces unleashed havoc and destruction in the city of Qalqilya and left a young man injured from gunfire. The forces, accompanied by three military bulldozers, launched a surprise attack on the city from various directions, primarily targeting the areas of Khallet Yassin and Al-Marj.
According to local sources, the occupation forces laid siege to a house belonging to Saleh Mustafa Abu Saleh, a freed prisoner, under the excuse of an alleged permit violation. The bulldozers wasted no time in demolishing the house, leaving Abu Saleh and his family homeless.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces continued their raids in the region, storming the city of Jericho and the Ain al-Sultan camp. Thankfully, no injuries were reported as the young men put up a resilient resistance against the forces, who resorted to firing bullets and gas bombs.
In a separate incident, the town of Al-Dhaheriya in southern Hebron was also targeted by the occupation forces, although no casualties or arrests were made.
