Palestinian media reported, citing local sources, wide-scale raids carried out by the Israeli occupation forces across the cities and refugee camps of the occupied West Bank.

Palestinian media reported that Israeli forces arrested Palestinian youth Youssef al-Khatib, during an incursion into the city of Areeha in the West Bank. It's noteworthy that al-Khatib had been released as part of the recent prisoner exchange deal between the Palestinian Resistance and the Israeli occupation that took place during the seven-day truce. Later, the media confirmed the release of al-Khatib, who was physically assaulted by the occupation forces.
