Israeli occupation forces launched on Friday a huge campaign of incursions and arrests in several cities and villages in the West Bank.

Occupying forces assaulted the town of Ni'lin, west of Ramallah, and raided many homes, according to local sources. The same sources reported that the liberated prisoner, Khaled Talal Sorour, was arrested by occupation forces during a raid on the town of Ni'lin.

The occupation forces also arrested the Palestinian youth, Yahya Badr, after storming his house in the Jabal Al-Sharif area of Al-Khalil.

The Israeli occupation forces also stormed the town of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, where Palestinian youths confronted the IOF after storming into the city.

Local sources and eyewitnesses said that sirens sounded in Nour Shams camp, east of Tulkarm, after suspecting the presence of special forces in the camp.
