Israeli Forces Conduct Extensive Raids in West Bank Amid Settler Attacks


West bank: Israeli forces stormed dozens of towns in the West Bank early Saturday morning, raiding homes and arresting residents, while settlers continued their attacks, particularly in the village of Far’ata, east of Qalqilya. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported eight injuries, including six from live ammunition, as a result of the settler attack on Far’ata.



According to National Iraqi News Agency, Israeli forces launched a large-scale raid campaign at dawn, targeting several areas in the West Bank, primarily in the governorates of Jenin, Nablus, Tubas, Qalqilya, and occupied Jerusalem. These operations involved arrests and searches of homes and refugee camps.



In Jenin, Israeli forces targeted towns and villages such as Zababdeh, Qabatiya, Ya’bad, Faqqu’a, Burqin, Jalbun, and Jalqamus, as well as the Jenin refugee camp’s housing complex near the Arab American University. Several homes were stormed, resulting in the arrest of two young men, with another arrest occurring at the housing complex in the same area.



In Nablus, forces raided Beit Furik, Tell, and Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, utilizing stun grenades during the operation in Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya. Israeli forces were also seen at the entrance to Qalandiya refugee camp, north of occupied Jerusalem, and conducted a raid in Kafr Aqab, north of Jerusalem.



In Qalqilya, the raid continued in the An-Naqqar neighborhood, where homes were stormed, and one resident was arrested. Tubas experienced another raid with homes being searched as part of the ongoing operation in the city.



Meanwhile, the town of Tell held funeral processions for its residents who were killed by Israeli gunfire on Friday.
