WEST BANK, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Israeli occupation forces (IOF) launched widespread raids across several towns and cities in the West Bank early Friday, arresting a number of former Palestinian prisoners, searching homes, and damaging property, as Jewish settlers intensified attacks on Palestinians and their belongings in the Nablus and al-Khalil governorates.
Israeli raids and arrests across West Bank
In the Qalqilya governorate, the IOF raided the town of Kafr Thulth, east of Qalqilya, conducting house searches and arresting several former Palestinian prisoners.
In the Jenin governorate, the IOF troops stormed the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, and searched a home.
The IOF also raided Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah, and the village of Marda, north of Salfit.
In the Nablus governorate, the IOF troops stormed Nablus city, the Old Askar refugee camp to the east, the Khallat al-Iman area on the city’s northern mountain, and the village of Beit Dajan, east of Nablus.
During the raid on Beit Dajan, Israeli forces caused damage to the home of Palestinian resident Samer Rajeh Rafiq Haj Mohammed in the Al-Bayader area.

The assault was the latest in a series of settler attacks targeting Palestinian residents in the governorate.
Settlers renew pressure on Palestinian family in Masafer Yatta
In the southern occupied West Bank, Jewish settlers reinstalled a tent in front of the home of Palestinian resident Yousef Shanaran in Wadi al-Rakhim, in Masafer Yatta, south of al-Khalil.
The move came as settlers continued their efforts to pressure Shanaran and seize his property.
According to local reports, settlers have surrounded his home for 39 consecutive days, restricting his movement and intensifying pressure on him.
The latest military raids and settler attacks come amid escalating Israeli violations across the West Bank, including home invasions, arrests, physical assaults, and attacks on Palestinian property.
