WEST BANK, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out large-scale raids across multiple areas of the West Bank early Friday, detaining several young men and carrying out on-the-ground assaults.
In Tulkarem, in the northern West Bank, several young men were arrested during a raid on the suburb of Dhnaba, including fathers and sons.
In the town of Jaba’, south of Jenin, eight young men were arrested after their homes were raided.
In Ramallah, the IOF assaulted two young men in the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of the city. They also detained a young man for several hours after raiding his home before later releasing him. Additionally, the IOF stormed the town of Beit Rima, northwest of Ramallah, raided multiple homes, and arrested several young men whose identities were not disclosed.
In Tubas, Israeli military vehicles entered the city, although no arrests were reported.
Cities and towns across the West Bank continue to witness frequent incursions by Israeli forces, often involving home raids and arrests as part of an ongoing policy targeting residents in various areas.
Separately, a young Palestinian man was injured by Israeli gunfire early Friday in the town of Al-Ram, north of occupied Jerusalem.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said that its teams in Ramallah treated a young man who was shot with live ammunition in the thigh by Israeli soldiers while he was in the town. He was transferred to a hospital for treatment.
No further details were provided regarding the circumstances of the incident. Such injuries have been occurring almost daily near the separation barrier and military checkpoints leading into Israel, particularly as workers attempt to reach their workplaces.
According to data from the General Federation of Palestinian Trade Unions, more than 44 Palestinian workers have been killed by Israeli forces, and over 34,000 have been arrested at workplaces or while attempting to find employment since the start of the war in Gaza.
