Israeli occupation forces (IOF) launched overnight a large-scale raid and arrest campaign across the West Bank, storming many homes and rounding up many citizens including former prisoners amid confrontations and clashes with resistance fighters.
The IOF stormed several West Bank governorates, including Nablus, Qalqilya, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Al-Khalil. They broke into and wreaked havoc inside Palestinians’ homes, amid shooting of live bullets and tear gas grenades.
In Nablus, the Israeli troops shot dead the young man, Bashar Hanani, 25, during confrontations that broke out in the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus.
Dozens of young men confronted the forces that stormed the vicinity of Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, amid violent confrontations that took place between the young men and the Israeli soldiers.
In Qalqilya, the IOF stormed the town of Azzun and broke into several homes and commercial shops, searching them thoroughly and wreaking havoc inside them.
In Ramallah, the IOF stormed Al-Jalazoun refugee camp, north of the city, while snipers mounted the roofs of a number of houses, amid clashes that broke out after a young man was shot and injured.
The freed prisoner, Saleh Hassouna, was rounded up from his home in Al-Jalazoun camp after he was shot and injured in the foot.
In the city of Bethlehem, the IOF stormed the family home of martyr Thaer Hassan and confiscated money from the house after wreaking havoc inside it. Meanwhile, a young man was also arrested after storming his family’s home east of the city.
In Al-Khalil, IOF soldiers raided the city and arrested a 15-year-old boy along with his father. They also stormed the town of Bani Naim and broke into the home of another citizen. The soldiers also raided the town of Halhul in the north, and arrested seven citizens, including a freed prisoner, after searching and vandalizing their homes.
