Sources: 17. Developments: 2. Israeli forces have conducted multiple operations across the West Bank, involving raids on Palestinian residents, human rights organizations, and medical facilities. In Ramallah, troops entered the Palestine Medical Complex and searched the offices of several NGOs, including the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, which Israel has designated as a terrorist organization. During this period, reports of settler violence also emerged, including the arson of a mosque in Mikhmas. Following these incursions, Israeli military restrictions expanded through the implementation of checkpoints and roadblocks near Ramallah and Salfit. The town of Madama has faced a ten-day siege with all entrances blocked, leading to reported shortages of food and medicine. Additionally, the Rafah Crossing has experienced closures, complicating the movement of medical patients between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-18: Israeli restrictions expand in West Bank and at Rafah Crossing Israeli forces have intensified restrictions in the West Bank, including a ten-day siege on Madama, while the Rafah Crossing remains closed, disrupting medical evacuations for Gaza patients. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/israeli-restrictions-expand-in-west-bank-and-at-rafah-crossing ### 2026-10-13: West Bank: Israeli forces raid NGOs and medical complex as settlers target mosque Israeli forces raided Palestinian NGOs and a major medical complex in Ramallah, while settlers set fire to a mosque in Mikhmas amid ongoing tensions and clashes in the West Bank. 15 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/israeli-forces-raid-palestinian-ngos-and-hospital-in-west-bank --- Cite as: Israeli military operations and restrictions in West Bank.
