Israeli occupation forces launched a series of incursions and detentions across various areas of the West Bank on Wednesday morning, deploying heavy military reinforcements amid rising tensions.
In al-Khalil Governorate, Israeli forces detained 12 Palestinians after raiding multiple homes, conducting searches, and damaging property. Palestinian security and local sources told the WAFA news agency that among those arrested were: Wissam and Saad Jaber, Samer Taha from al-Khalil, Ibrahim Mohammad al-Sarahna from the al-Fawar refugee camp.
Nawaf Shawamreh, Naser Badawi Shahateet, Mohammad Youssef Amro, Waleed Mahmoud Amro, Ismail Abdul Karim Amro, Yasser Abdul Qader Amro, and Wissam Youssef Amro from the town of Dura were also arrested, and so was Wissam Obeid from the village of Beit Roush.
According to the sources, several of those detained were beaten and abused during the detention raids.
Two hospitals besieged
In Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank, Israeli forces surrounded Rafidia Hospital and Al-Arabi Specialty Hospital while also amid incursions into nearby residential neighborhoods.
The Palestinian Red Crescent stated that Resistance fighters engaged the Israeli soldiers, and a 26-year-old was injured during the confrontation.
Moreover, in Nablus, Israeli forces arrested Mahmoud Ghazal and Musab Nafi'a from al-Makhfiya, along with Badr al-Sabir from New Nablus.
Incursions into Ramallah, Beit Lahm, Tulkarm
Backed by bulldozers, Israeli troops raided the Khalayla zone outside al-Mughayyir village near Ramallah, destroying Palestinian homes and tents.
Israeli troops stormed into al-Dawha and al-Khader near Beit Lahm, searching homes in intensive raids.
The West Bank remains on edge as Israeli forces ramp up detention operations and home incursions while settler attacks continue to surge.
Armed settlers targeted the Shqeirat agricultural compound southeast of occupied al-Quds, wrecking infrastructure including power systems and fencing while deliberately contaminating feed supplies in the Sawahra pastures.
