The Israeli occupation forces launched on Tuesday a series of raids in the occupied West Bank, including the town of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, the Dheisheh camp in Beit Lahm, and the Aqabat Jaber camp in Areeha, where they arrested six members of one family.

Confrontations erupted between Palestinian Resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces after the latter stormed the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, south of Areeha, east of the West Bank, and besieged a house, injuring a citizen and preventing ambulance crews from reaching him.

During their storming, occupation forces deployed snipers in several buildings, before arresting six Palestinians and withdrawing from the area.

In the same context, the Israeli occupation forces also stormed the town of Al-Isawiya in occupied Al-Quds and launched a campaign of arrests.

Occupation forces also stormed the town of Turmus Ayya, Ramallah, and arrested Palestinian youth Mohammad Walid Abu Awwad from his house.

This comes just one day after Israeli occupation forces shot dead Palestinian youth Saleh Sabra, during their attempt to storm the Askar refugee camp, east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
