Israeli Forces Intensify Raids Across Occupied West Bank

Israeli military forces have intensified raids across the occupied West Bank, targeting cities, villages and refugee camps and abducting several Palestinians, amid a reported rise in settler attacks against Palestinians and their property. According to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, Israeli troops stormed the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp southwest of Ariha early Monday, sparking clashes with local residents. Several Israeli military vehicles entered the camp as troops pursued young men in the al-Madaris neighborhood and fired stun grenades. No injuries were reported.

In Nablus, Israeli forces opened fire on a Palestinian vehicle carrying several young men during a military raid in the central West Bank city. WAFA reported that Israeli special forces targeted the vehicle near the municipal stadium and ordered one of its occupants to surrender. Additional military vehicles entered Nablus through the Deir Sharaf checkpoint and were deployed around the stadium, while Israeli special forces reportedly abducted a young Palestinian man identified as Fateh al-Ashqar near the site.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces also raided Jenin and deployed troops in the city center, as military operations continued in several parts of the occupied West Bank. The latest raids come amid heightened tensions across the territory, with Palestinians facing repeated military incursions alongside increasing attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinian residents and their property.
