RAMALLAH (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed several towns and cities in the West Bank at dawn Saturday, arresting 15 Palestinians, including a woman.
Clashes erupted in Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of al-Khalil, shortly after IOF troops broke into the camp. A young man was injured during the clashes.
The Israeli forces also stormed Idhna town, west of al-Khalil, and Kafel Haris and Deir Istiya towns, west of Salfit. Several local homes were stormed during the raids.
Eyewitnesses said that the Israeli army also gathered and investigated dozens of young men in Deir Istiya town after handcuffing them. They were later released.
Before that, the Israeli occupation army arrested 15 Palestinians, including a woman, and the family of a wanted Palestinian who the occupation forces claim is one of the perpetrators of the “Funduk” shooting attack east of Qalqilya, on January 6, which resulted in the killing of 3 Israelis.
Similar raids were reported in Hajja and Deir al-Hatab towns east of Qalqilya and Qabatiya town, south of Jenin.
In Nablus, local sources said that the Israeli forces detained a number of Palestinians in the home of the martyr Jaafar Dababseh in Talluza, north of the city.
The IOF also stormed Husan and Al-Khader towns, west of Bethlehem, amid heavy fire of teargas bombs.
Similar raids were reported in Ni’lin and Nabi Saleh villages in Ramallah, where IOF seized two vehicles.
