IOF continues to storm West Bank
This unfolds amid ongoing confrontations in the West Bank which have intensified since the beginning of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. Towns and cities in the West Bank endure daily raids, alongside extensive detention campaigns, resulting in an increase in the number of martyrs and injuries from confrontations with the occupation forces.
Earlier this week, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Palestinian teenager Khaled Arqawi was shot by Israeli occupation forces during their raid on Ramallah.
On Friday, a pregnant Palestinian woman was detained, among other Palestinians, by Israeli occupation forces that carried out multiple raids across the occupied West Bank, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
Israeli forces also raided the towns of Azzun and Jayus east of Qalqilya and raided several houses. In Azzun an Israeli special force besieged the house of Ashraf Salim before raiding and vandalizing it. Afterward, the occupation forces withdrew toward the neighboring town of Jayus and raided another house.
