Israeli occupation forces launched a detention campaign targeting the villages of Tuqu' and Kfar Qallil in the West Bank on Wednesday dawn, detaining several Palestinians including a child, while leaving a trail of destruction in Ni'lin and raiding houses in al-Khalil.
The mayor of Jenin, Mohammad Jarrar, highlighted that the humanitarian situation in the town is worsening as Israeli raids continue to displace thousands of Palestinians, with half of the city's residents needing humanitarian aid as the month of Ramadan approaches and businesses are being forcibly closed by Israeli forces.
IOF intensify their operation in the West Bank
Israeli occupation forces are intensifying their attacks on the West Bank, most recently in the northern parts where they threw tear gas and shot live bullets at local Palestinians in Tulkarm on Tuesday, the Nur Shams and Tulkarm refugee camps, and the town of Qusra in Nablus.
The IOF also set up checkpoints on Nablus street, which connects the Nur Shams camp to Tulkarm, and detained several passengers from passing cars.
The assault on Jenin has resulted in 25 Palestinian martyrs on its 27th day and dozens of injuries, in addition to the vast destruction of the Janin camp in both infrastructure and private property.
The Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps have seen a widespread deployment of troops who proceeded to raid homes, conducting searches and wreaking havoc in several neighborhoods while enforcing a siege that has so far displaced 15,000 residents from both camps.
Israeli soldiers also commandeered several houses in Tulkarm, turning them into military outposts in the eastern neighborhoods while enforcing a strict siege on the city's refugee camps.
