The Israeli occupation forces conducted a wave of mass arrests in the occupied West Bank in early morning hours on Tuesday, detaining at least 35 Palestinians. The raids focused on Jenin, Nablus, al-Khalil, al-Quds, Beit Lahem, and Ramallah. Numerous residential homes were stormed, and people's possessions were vandalized.

In Areeha, local sources reported that a special Israeli force infiltrated the city, arresting Mohammad Sader after besieging a house belonging to the Sader family. 

In Nablus, Israeli forces, backed by dozens of military vehicles, including a military bulldozer, stormed the eastern area and besieged Balata Camp, as snipers were deployed on opposite residential buildings.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces arrested four Palestinians in Al-Khalil. They also raided Al-Mezan Hospital, arresting Mohammad Hazem Al-Qawasmi and assaulting and beating detainees before taking them to a detention center.

In the town of At-Tur, east of occupied Al-Quds, Israeli occupation forces arrested five Palestinians after raiding their homes. Additionally, Uday Abu Hania was arrested from his home in the town of Anata.

Simultaneously, dozens of settlers conducted extensive incursions into the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, protected by Israeli occupation police. The settlers entered through the Moroccan Gate, performed provocative tours within the courtyards, and conducted Talmudic rituals in the vicinity of Bab al-Rahma. Meanwhile, Israeli police tightened their military measures in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa.

Nakba in West Bank, genocide in Gaza

At the beginning of this month, 150 residents of Khirbet Zanuta have been forcibly displaced once again. Armed settlers, some of whom were dressed in army reserves uniforms and others concealing their identities, have started to break into their homes during the night, assaulting adults, vandalizing and looting possessions, and traumatizing their children.

At the time, men and women were in tears as they were forced to disassemble their homes, hastily loading solar panels, animal feed, and personal items onto pickup trucks. The sounds of the demolitions by Israeli bulldozers filled the air, and the resulting dust and debris shook them to the core.

It is worth noting that the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank alone since October 7 has reached 205 including at least 44 children, as per Palestinian authorities.

Concurrently, the Palestinian Prisoners Society NGO has lately reported that Israeli occupation forces have arrested nearly 2,500 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7.

Meanwhile, disturbing videos have emerged on social media, showing Israeli soldiers torturing and physically abusing Palestinian detainees who are lying on the ground, naked, with their hands and feet bound.
