Mounting Tensions in the West Bank: Israeli Forces Raid Towns and Convert Homes into Military Barracks

Israeli forces are continuing their intensive military campaign in towns and villages across the West Bank, launching a series of raids and incursions on Wednesday morning. The operations, which have included arrests and assaults on civilians, have led to a boiling point in Palestinian areas.

Incursions and Civilian Targeting

In the Jenin Governorate, Israeli military vehicles stormed the town of Sanur and other villages like Zabda, prompting local authorities to delay school hours to ensure the safety of students. The invaded towns witnessed extensive raids on homes and the destruction of their contents. Live ammunition and toxic gas canisters were fired at residents.

The Palestinian news agency "Wafa" reported the arrest of two young men in the city of Jenin. Meanwhile, a home in the town of Beit Awwa in the Hebron Governorate was converted into a military barracks. Forces searched vehicles and harassed civilians.

Injuries and Vandalism

In Hebron, a child suffered hand fractures from a gas canister explosion and was taken to Dura Hospital for treatment, while others suffered from asphyxiation. The incursions also included the towns of Sa'ir and Beit Ummar, where homes and commercial shops were extensively searched.

These events point to a sharp escalation of tensions in the West Bank, with ongoing Israeli military operations targeting civilians and their properties.
