According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on Monday, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have demolished 115 Palestinian homes in the West Bank since October 7.

In a report, the OCHA detailed that "More than 700 Palestinians, including more than 300 children, have been displaced since 7 October following the destruction of 115 homes during operations carried out by Israeli forces."

On Sunday, the IOF demolished the homes of the martyrs Nasr and Abdul Qader al-Qawasmi in al-Khalil, in the West Bank, on Sunday.

The IOF, with a large number of their military vehicles and equipment, stormed the Ras al-Jura and Bir al-Mahjar areas in al-Khalil. They imposed a military cordon in the area, closed main roads, and prevented the movement of Palestinians, before proceeding to demolish the home of martyr Abdul Qader al-Qawasmi using bulldozers and heavy machinery.

The Israeli occupation forces, early on Monday morning, stormed various areas in the occupied West Bank, conducted house raids and searches, and detained a number of Palestinians, among whom were previously freed prisoners.

The incursions into the West Bank, which have been more aggressive since October 7, are being confronted by local Palestinians who have increasingly mobilized and joined the ranks of Resistance factions across the cities, camps, and neighborhoods.

Local news outlets reported that the Israeli occupation forces broke into the house of Khaled Mohammad Abu al-Baha, in the town of Beitunia, west of Ramallah, wreaked havoc, and then detained him. It is important to note that Abu al-Baha is a liberated prisoner who has been repeatedly detained by the occupation and has spent more than 13 years behind bars, seven of which had been consecutive between 1994 and 2001.

The Israeli occupation has attempted to mask its deadly raids into the West Bank as a guise for uprooting "militant activity" in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Last week, the IOF raided the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm, while Resistance fighters confronted the large-scale incursion that included heavy deployment of occupation soldiers on the outskirts of the camp.

Sources told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli raid led to serious damage to Tulkarm's public infrastructure. Reports also revealed that explosions were heard intermittently, as occupation forces prohibited emergency personnel from entering the camp.

Netanyahu rejects Palestinian statehood, insists on West Bank control

The Israeli occupation's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his uncompromising position on maintaining full security control over the occupied West Bank.

"I will not compromise on full Israeli security control over all the territory west of Jordan," Netanyahu wrote in a post on X. "And this is contrary to a Palestinian state."

 

Netanyahu declared that his "insistence has prevented for years the establishment of a Palestinian state that would have constituted an existential threat to Israel." 

In addition to emphasizing control over the West Bank, Netanyahu also underscored the necessity of disarming Gaza and bringing it under Israeli security control. 

Hours after Hamas published a report detailing the October 7 Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Netanyahu declared that he had rejected the demands made by the Palestinian Resistance for the release of Israeli captives in Gaza.
