Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the city of Tubas in the northern occupied West Bank on Saturday following a four‑day military operation that left dozens of Palestinians injured and saw widespread arrests.
During the raid, occupation forces stormed dozens of homes and forcibly removed more than 20 Palestinian families from their residences amid aggressive searches. The operation was conducted under the pretext of searching for weapons, though the report did not confirm whether any were seized.
Four days of raids, confrontations, and excessive force
This operation is the latest in ongoing daily raids across Palestinian towns and villages, which routinely involve widespread arrests, home raids, and intimidation of residents. These actions form part of a broader policy of repression aimed at tightening control over the Palestinian population in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that an ambulance crew was injured when a gas grenade was fired directly at their vehicle during the raid. Medical teams treated more than 166 injuries over the course of the operation; around 60 were transferred to hospitals for further care, many caused by beatings and abuse by the IOF.
Mass arrest campaign expands across the West Bank
According to the Palestinian Prisoners Club, around 200 Palestinians were detained during the offensive in Tubas before most were later released. Meanwhile, media outlets stated that 12 more Palestinians were arrested near occupied Al‑Quds as the occupation continues its sweeping arrest campaign since the start of the war on Gaza.
In occupied Al‑Quds, authorities forced Palestinian resident Muhammad Karshan to demolish his home in the Al‑Salam neighborhood under the pretext of lacking a building permit. Palestinians in al-Quds are routinely pressured into self‑demolition to avoid crippling financial penalties and further punitive measures.
According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, “Israel” has carried out more than 1,000 demolitions since October 2023, affecting around 3,700 structures across the West Bank, including occupied al-Quds, as part of a continuously escalating policy of dispossession.
"Israel" withdrew from Tubas after four days of raids involving heavy force, arrests, and attacks on medical teams. Over 166 Palestinians were injured during the operation, with around 200 detained. In occupied Al‑Quds, authorities forced a resident to demolish his own home as part of an ongoing demolition campaign. Rights groups report more than 1,000 demolitions across the West Bank since October 2023.
