Israeli occupation forces launched a wide-scale raid and detention campaign across several West Bank cities and towns, and settlers, under the protection of Israeli police, forced their way into the courtyards of the al-Aqsa Mosque on Monday.
In Ramallah, Israeli forces closed the iron gates at the main entrance to the town of Turmus'ayya north of the city and raided the city of al-Bireh, as well as the Saha Marhaba neighborhood. Israeli forces also raided several homes in the New Askar refugee camp and arrested Ibrahim Sultan, Mahmoud Emad Abu Leila, and Saeed Qar'an.
The Israeli occupation also arrested seven citizens in al-Khalil after raiding and searching their homes and tampering with their contents, set up several military checkpoints at the entrances to the city, its towns, villages, and refugee camps, and closed main and side roads with iron gates, concrete blocks, and earth mounds.
In Beit Lahm, Israeli forces seized a mobile home in the town of al-Khader to the south, conducted raids in the areas of al-Ubeidiya, Harmala, Rafida, and Za'atara east of the governorate, stormed several homes belonging to the Ali family in the Rakhma area, and ransacked a factory in the industrial zone.
Israeli forces announced operation across the West Bank
Meanwhile, in Tubas, Israeli occupation forces stormed the city with patrols that were deployed from the Tayasir checkpoint to the east. This comes after the occupation army announced on Sunday that it would be conducting a military operation in various areas of the West Bank from the morning hours of Monday until noon.
Since Thursday, Tulkarm has witnessed an unprecedented wave of arrests, with Israeli occupation forces detaining more than 1,500 people, including pedestrians, shop owners, and vehicle drivers. All the detainees were later released, marking one of the biggest arrest operations that swept across the city in recent months.
