The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have persisted with their campaigns of raids into Palestinian cities, towns, and camps of the West Bank, early Friday morning.

The occupation's aggression campaign focused on the towns of Qalqilya and Tubas before withdrawing from them.

Palestinian media reported that special units from the Israeli Occupation Forces invaded the city of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank, detaining a young Palestinian,  Tawfiq Abu Labda, after besieging his house in the Kfar Saba neighborhood in the city of Qalqilya.

In the city of Tubas, the occupation forces withdrew after failing to detain their intended targets.

The Israeli forces also opened fire on Palestinian young men during the raid into the town of Surif in Al-Khalil, while the Red Crescent reported that a Palestinian youth sustained serious injuries to the chest and abdomen from live ammunition fired by the IOF. 

The Red Crescent also reported that two other Palestinians were injured by Israeli gunfire in the city of Halhul in the southern West Bank.

A recent report by CBC News, citing human rights organizations, shows that there is minimal accountability, if any, when Israeli occupation forces kill Palestinian children in brutal raids on the West Bank. 

This year has witnessed over 100 such killings, marking the highest recorded toll, according to the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which has been tracking casualties since 2005. The previous record of 36 killings was surpassed in September of this year, underscoring the persistent challenges in ensuring accountability for such incidents.

These organizations warn that Israeli authorities are not adhering to international protocols designed to safeguard children during what they call "military operations".
