Israeli forces conduct widespread raids and arrests across West Bank

Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of coordinated raids in the West Bank on July 3‑4, 2026, entering multiple towns including Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin, Hebron, Bethlehem and Qalqilya. The operations involved house searches, vehicle seizures, and violent assaults, resulting in the arrest of dozens of Palestinians, among them doctors Jamila al‑Dahou and Jamila Kanaan, journalist Hassan Mahmoud Abdel‑Jawad (72), and several youths. Settlers also entered Palestinian neighborhoods, attacking homes in areas such as Beit A south of Nablus and conducting provocative patrols near residential zones. The raids were accompanied by closures of commercial outlets and the seizure of property. The widespread actions reflect an intensifying campaign of intimidation against the Palestinian civilian population in the occupied territories.

These incidents were reported by local networks and underline the rising tension between Israeli forces, settlers and Palestinian residents in the region.
