In a wave of late-night raids stretching from Monday into Tuesday, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) launched aggressive operations across the West Bank, leading to a series of kidnappings, assaults, and widespread vandalism.
Local sources reported that the IOF seized two young men from the al-Am’ari refugee camp in Ramallah and another from al-Bireh City. The aggression extended to Nablus, where Israeli soldiers kidnapped a young man, Laith Khashaneh, from the Old City after brutally assaulting his mother. The forces also trashed a family home and confiscated two vehicles.

The violence was not limited to arrests. The Red Crescent confirmed that 11 Palestinians were injured during intense clashes that erupted after IOF troops stormed the eastern part of Nablus. The Israeli incursion was to provide armed protection for settlers visiting Joseph’s Tomb.
In a covert operation in Jenin, Israeli occupation forces, disguised in civilian clothing, kidnapped a young man from his home in Anza village. Elsewhere in the Jenin area, the town of Burqin was raided, where soldiers savagely beat a young man and fired tear gas at others.
In a separate incident, a horde of extremist settlers set fire to agricultural tents belonging to Palestinian citizens in the Ikhllal al-Adra area, east of al-Karmil village, south of al-Khalil.
