Israeli occupation forces demolished the family home of Osama Bani Fadel in the town of Aqraba, to the southwest of Nablus in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The home, which consists of three stories, was demolished via explosives, after a large Israeli force raided the town, Monday overnight.

Occupation forces also detained and questioned several Palestinians in the town. Local sources reported the detainment of Obeida Ous Bani Fadel and Alaa Saud Taha after their homes were raided.

Palestinians confronted the incursion on the town, while Israeli occupation forces fired tear gas and sound bombs, injuring multiple people in the town. Employing a tactic that has become all too familiar since October 7, Israeli forces systematically obstructed ambulances from accessing the scene of the attacks, preventing medics from providing needed care for the wounded.

Concurrently, Israeli occupation forces invaded and raided several Palestinian towns and the city of Areeha. The city of Areeha on the eastern side of the West Bank was raided from several axes. The towns of Surif and Beit Ummar to the north of al-Khalil, as well as Bani Naim to the east and al-Fawwar camp to the south all witnessed Israeli raids.

Israeli occupation forces also invaded the town of Anata to the northeast of occupied al-Quds. To the west of Nablus, Israeli forces raided several homes in Kfar Qaddum.

Earlier on Monday, Israeli occupation forces blocked the entrances to several towns and villages in Ramallah and Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

The occupation also imposed a lockdown and completely restricted the movement of Palestinians within the closed-off areas.

Israeli occupation forces stormed the western area of the city of Nablus. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that two young men were injured by live ammunition during confrontations in the town of Tell, near Nablus.

In Ramallah, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that occupation forces raided Birzeit and wreaked havoc in several commercial stores in the area.

Our correspondent also reported that photojournalist Ramzi Awwad was injured by the Israeli occupation forces after they opened fire on him while he was covering the unfolding events in the town of Jifna, north of Ramallah.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Ramallah announced that its fighters managed to target a settler's car near the "Atara" settlement north of Ramallah, adding that the fighter who carried out the operation withdrew safely.

The Palestinian Prisoners Information Office reported that Israeli occupation forces have arrested 35 Palestinians in the West Bank and al-Quds, including three women, on Monday evening.

The arrests were concentrated in al-Khalil and occupied al-Quds, in addition to Beit Lahm, Ramallah, Tulkarm, Areeha, and Tubas.

With the arrest of 35 Palestinians today, the total number of detentions since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood has risen to approximately 4,575 cases.

It is worth noting that the IOF carried out a mass detention campaign, with widespread incursions, harassment, brutal beatings, and threats against detainees and their families, along with field investigation operations, particularly in the town of Abwein in Ramallah, accompanied by extensive destruction and ransacking of civilians' home.
