Israeli occupation storms West Bank, arrests Palestinians
The Israeli occupation forces storm the town of Silat Al-Harithiya, west of Jenin, and arrests a number of Palestinians.
Al Mayadeen correspondent in Palestine reported that more than 20 Israeli occupation vehicles stormed the town of Silat Al-Harithiya, west of Janin, in the occupied West Bank.
Our reporter added that military bulldozers accompanied the IOF, heading to the houses of the Palestinians who have allegedly carried out the "Homesh" operation, while locals stood in their face and confronted them.
She added that the IOF took the measurements of the houses of the prisoners Ghayth Ahmad Yasin Jradat and Omar Ahmad Yasin Jradat, as well as the measurements of the house of their uncle prisoner Mohammad Yusuf Jradat. This step by the IOF means that they plan on demolishing all three houses later on.

The Israeli occupation forces had arrested the two brothers and their uncle just yesterday, claiming that they were behind an operation that killed a settler near the "Homesh" settlement in south Jenin a few days ago.
Palestinian media outlets and social media activists published videos of the storming of the town by occupation forces and of the brothers during the arrests.
The families were asked to empty their houses, as the occupation plans to demolish them.

Israeli Channel 11 revealed that occupation forces have given instructions to their soldiers to open fire on anyone throwing rocks, even if that meant shooting Palestinians in their backs as they try to escape.
Israeli media had published a picture of Israeli PM Naftali Bennett from inside the Shin Bet operations room, watching the storming of Silat Al-Harithiya.
