Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out a series of arrests in the town of Dura, south of the city of al-Khalil in the southern West Bank, according to Palestinian media reports.

Concurrently, at least seven Palestinian youths were arrested in the town after their homes were raided and searched by the IOF.

Additionally, the occupation forces stormed the town of Husan, west of Beit Lahm in the southern West Bank, where they conducted a widespread arrest campaign.

In the northern West Bank, the IOF stormed the eastern area of Nablus early this morning to secure the entry of settlers to Qaber Youssef (Joseph's Tomb), leading to confrontations in the area.

Meanwhile, Palestinian Resistance fighters confronted the IOF, who stormed the area accompanied by a military bulldozer and brought in large military reinforcements.

During the confrontations, the Resistance fighters targeted the invading forces with a locally-made explosive device while they were in the Balata al-Balad area, east of Nablus.

It is worth noting that the IOF obstructed the work of ambulance vehicles attempting to enter the area and perform their duties.

Furthermore, they raided the town of Aqaba in Tubas, where confrontations erupted with Palestinian Resistance. In the northern West Bank, the IOF also raided the town of Deir Abu Da'if, east of Jenin.

In the eastern West Bank, Israeli forces stormed the town of al-Auja, north of Areeha, while the Resistance targeted IOF with gunfire and explosives in the city of Aqaba.

Simultaneously, the occupation forces withdrew a damaged vehicle during their incursion into the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah city, and raided the village of Rumon, east of the city.

'Israel' arrests Palestinian journalist amid media suppression

Israeli occupation forces arrested a female Palestinian journalist from Nablus in the occupied West Bank, after she was called in for questioning by Israeli security officials.

Rasha Hirzallah, employed with the Palestinian WAFA news agency, was interrogated at a detention center in the Israeli settlement of Ariel near Ramallah before being taken into custody.

Her family reported that upon her arrival, Israeli security officials informed her that she would be detained for 72 hours, without providing any reasons or specifying charges.

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has strongly criticized Hirzallah's detention as part of "Israel's" escalating crackdown on journalists and urged international organizations to intervene and halt ongoing Israeli crimes against Palestinian journalists, including arrests and killings.

Official Palestinian media, in a collective statement, also condemned the Israeli actions. They asserted that the arrest campaign against journalists will not dissuade them from fulfilling their responsibilities toward the Palestinian people and their rightful cause. They affirmed their commitment to exposing the Israeli atrocities.

The statement further emphasized that Hirzallah's detention is indicative of a broader Israeli policy of targeting Palestinian media and their staff.

It is worth noting that the Palestinian Prisoners Society revealed on Sunday that 80 Palestinian journalists have been arrested by the Israeli occupation since October 7, 68 of whom were located in the West Bank, while the rest were arrested in Gaza. 

Palestinian journalists have been consistently targeted, alongside their families, by Israeli occupation forces in Gaza since the genocide was launched in October. The latest death toll shows that the IOF killed 147 journalists in eight months. 

In addition, hundreds more were injured, their families were targeted, and their homes, offices, and media headquarters were destroyed.
