IOF raids West Bank and wrongfully detains Palestinians

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) detained a number of Palestinians in the West Bank on Monday.

According to a press statement by the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, occupation forces raided the Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Al-Khalil, and detained 8 people. The IOF arrest campaign targeted the town of Al-Shuyoukh, Beit Ummar, and Bayt Kahil.

Security sources told Palestine's WAFA agency that occupation forces arrested two Palestinians from Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate, as well as two children, brothers, from the Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus after storming their family's house. Additionally, the IOF detained two young men from Silat Al-Harithiya, west of Jenin, and a boy from Qalqilya.

Furthermore, armed confrontations erupted today in the Balata camp as occupation soldiers raided the camp and requested further military reinforcements.

The Balata Brigade announced, in a press statement, that it had uncovered a special IOF unit as it attempted to infiltrate into the eastern area of the camp, earlier this morning.

Moreover, the IOF wrongfully detained a liberated prisoner from the town of Tammun, south of Tubas. The Director of the Palestinian Prisoners' Club in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odeh, confirmed that occupation forces detained the freed prisoner, Amer Yasser Bani Odeh, after raiding his house in the town and searching and destroying its contents.

A Palestinian youth was martyred and another was critically injured, Saturday evening, after Israeli occupation forces opened fire on them near the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the occupation forces "targeted two Palestinians with gunfire in an ambush near the village of Sinjil, north of Ramallah."

On its part, the Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that "the Palestinian youth, Musab Mohammad Mahmoud Nafal, 18, succumbed to the wounds he sustained after being shot near Sinjil."
