Israeli occupation forces have escalated their military operations across the occupied West Bank, conducting widespread raids and arrests that have left two Palestinians dead.
In a series of coordinated actions, Israeli occupation troops stormed Nablus’ Balata refugee camp, detaining a young Palestinian after searching his residence. Additional forces moved into the al-Jabal al-Shamali area, where they conducted searches of a residential building.
Israel’s ethnic cleansing scheme is not limited to Gaza and the West Bank.

The operations extended to al-Khalil, with raids targeting Wadi Abu Qatila, al-Arroub refugee camp, and Sa’ir town. Military reinforcements were deployed to al-Fawwar camp as local residents confronted the advancing forces.
In another operation, Israeli troops returned to Nablus and raided the home of freed prisoner Osaid al-Zeer in Qalandiya refugee camp’s Antar neighborhood, located in northern occupied al-Quds. Meanwhile, in Ramallah, forces arrested Sheikh Ibrahim al-Saba’ and his son Ahmad during a raid on their Beitunia home.
The military activity continued in Tulkarm, where areas surrounding the Helmi Hannoun School and the Kafr Rumman suburb were targeted.
The escalation has proven deadly, with 24-year-old Suleiman Fawaz Nasser Manasrah killed by Israeli gunfire near Jenin on Sunday following an armed confrontation at the Homesh settlement entrance. Occupation forces subsequently seized his body.
