Israeli occupation forces arrested 30 Palestinians, including former detainees, during raids carried out in various areas of the occupied West Bank, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, in collaboration with the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS), announced.

In a joint statement, the two organizations revealed that the Israeli army conducted a large-scale arrest campaign in the town of Azoun, east of Qalqilya in northern West Bank, detaining over 100 Palestinians, who were later released.

IOF also carried out extensive raids and arrests in several cities and villages across the West Bank and occupied al-Quds, with a special focus on the Jenin Governorate.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli occupation forces stormed Arraba, near Jenin, and detained a number of youths, including the brother of prisoner Mahmoud al-Arida.

The campaign resulted in the arrest of several citizens, including Ahmed Zayt, the brother of martyr Noor Zayt, during a raid on the Shweika neighborhood in Tulkarm.

Other detainees included Abdelrahman Ouda from the Denaba neighborhood and Maham Adattar from Tulkarm.

In Nablus, the occupation forces arrested Yassin Ameira, along with Abdel Nasser Zoukan from the Balata Refugee Camp, as well as young men Mohammad Majed Abu Asbah and Mohammad Fadi Abu Asbah from the town of Halhul in al-Khalil, and Adam Azmi Jabarin from Sa'ir.

Raids also took place in Beitunia, Ramallah, where Ahmed al-Khatib was arrested, and in Kafr Aqab, al-Quds, where Majdi Qahoush was detained.

IOF conduct house-to-house raids in WB, violate, detain Palestinians

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out a large-scale raid in the Palestinian town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank, on Tuesday, marking another escalation in the occupied territory, witnesses reported.

Israeli forces stormed and searched multiple homes and subjected around 200 Palestinians to field interrogations before releasing them. However, several other individuals were detained.

Activists shared footage and images on social media showing Palestinian civilians stripped to their underclothes during their arrests.

Azzun has been repeatedly targeted by Israeli raids due to its location along a main road frequently used by illegal Israeli settlers traveling between Qalqilya and Ramallah.

The incursion comes as the Israeli military continues its deadly offensive in the northern West Bank, which began on January 21, resulting in at least 65 Palestinian deaths and the forced displacement of thousands.

The report also confirmed that among those detained, "90 children and 19 women were documented," noting "a rise in field interrogations, which targeted hundreds of Palestinians over the past month." The report further noted that since the start of the Israeli offensive in the northern West Bank on January 21, "the army has arrested 300 Palestinians from Jenin and its refugee camp, and 200 from Tulkarm and its refugee camps."
