Clashes erupt in Silwad as settlers and IOF advance
Palestinian sources reported that groups of settlers gathered at the entrance of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, while IOF stormed both Deir Jarir and nearby Deir Dibwan. The incursions coincided with violent confrontations in Silwad as Palestinian youths resisted the simultaneous settler and military presence.
In Birzeit, near Ramallah, IOF arrested former prisoner Salama al-Qatawi after storming his home. In Nablus, troops raided the New Askar refugee camp and detained Shadi al-Rifai. Two children, Khaled and Sahlam Zein, were also arrested after their home was raided in Burin, south of the city.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) reported that Israeli occupation forces launched a wide-scale detained campaign across Tubas Governorate at dawn on Wednesday. Around 60 Palestinians were detained, including children, relatives of martyrs, and former detainees.
The PPS highlighted that the detentions were accompanied by widespread sabotage, including the destruction of infrastructure. In several cases, IOF transformed Palestinian homes into temporary military outposts.
