Israeli forces raid West Bank towns, injuring civilians and arresting dozens

West Bank raids Israeli forces Palestinian injuries arrests Beit Ummar operation

Israeli soldiers and settlers carried out a series of raids across the occupied West Bank, entering towns such as Nablus, Tal, Qalqilya, Tulkarm, Ramallah and Hebron. In the Junaid neighbourhood of Nablus, at least 11 Palestinians – four of them children – were injured, one shot in the stomach, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. The operations involved the use of stun grenades, tear‑gas canisters and sound bombs, and four Palestinian homes in Tal were converted into military barracks.

The raids resulted in the detention of at least ten people in Nablus, Tal, Salem and Bethlehem, while broader sweeps across other towns saw dozens more arrested, vehicles seized and houses searched. Israeli forces searched more than 170 structures in the Beit Ummar area near Hebron, apprehending several wanted suspects and seizing weapons as part of a counter‑terrorism operation jointly run by the IDF, Shin Bet and Border Police.

The campaigns also featured house‑to‑military conversions, demolition of property contents and the imposition of curfews and movement bans in several localities, intensifying tensions in the region.
