The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) launched a large-scale raid and arrest campaign across the West Bank at dawn Wednesday.
During the raids, the IOF detained a Palestinian young man in Ramallah and two others in Qalqilia after brutally storming and searching their family houses.
Two more Palestinians, aged 18 and 16, were rounded up in Bethlehem, which led to the outbreak of violent clashes.
In al-Khalil, the IOF stormed the citizen Bassam Nawajaa’s family house in Yatta town and detained all the family members in one single room before brutally beating him. The man was later taken to the hospital for treatment.
Similar raids were carried out in Umm Al-Khair and Khallet towns and al-Fawar refugee camp, where six Palestinians were detained.
In Nablus, a Palestinian young man was detained while another was injured after the IOF troops violently broke into Duma town.
Two more Palestinians were reportedly arrested in Occupied Jerusalem and Jericho.
Late Tuesday, violent clashes erupted in different areas of the occupied West Bank.
The PIC reporter affirmed that clashes broke out when the IOF stormed Sa’ir town, northeast of al-Khalil, amid heavy gunfire. No injuries were reported.
Also in al-Khalil, a group of settlers stormed the archaeological site of Tel Ma’in in Yatta town and performed Talmudic rituals.
In the northern West Bank, confrontations broke out in Beita town, south of Nablus, after it was stormed by Israeli troops amid a heavy fire of teargas bombs.
