Israeli occupation forces, backed by armed illegal Israeli settlers, launched widespread raids across the occupied West Bank and occupied Jerusalem overnight into Friday, demolishing Palestinian homes, carrying out mass arrests and injuring dozens of civilians.

One of the largest assaults targeted Qalandiya refugee camp, between occupied Jerusalem and Ramallah, where Israeli occupation forces withdrew after a two-day military operation that left extensive destruction across the camp.

According to Palestinian sources, Israeli military bulldozers demolished seven Palestinian homes and several additional structures, while dozens of neighboring houses and properties sustained heavy damage during the raid.

Israeli occupation soldiers stormed homes one by one, forcing families from their residences before conducting extensive searches. More than 70 Palestinians were detained during the operation, with many subjected to prolonged field interrogations.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported that its emergency teams treated 51 Palestinians injured during the assault, including victims suffering from tear gas inhalation, beatings and other injuries inflicted by Israeli forces.

Witnesses said Israeli occupation forces fired large quantities of tear gas and stun grenades around the entrances to Qalandiya refugee camp and the neighboring town of Kafr Aqab, exposing civilians—including children and elderly residents—to dangerous conditions.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) said the detention campaign was accompanied by severe beatings, intimidation and degrading treatment. According to the organization, Israeli occupation forces tied and blindfolded detainees during interrogations while converting Palestinian homes into temporary military outposts and interrogation centers after forcing families from their properties.

Residents also reported widespread destruction of household belongings during the searches.

The Israeli assault extended across numerous areas of the occupied West Bank, where military raids coincided with attacks by illegal Israeli settlers.

In Jenin, Israeli occupation forces stormed Deir Abu Daif, raided homes near Jenin refugee camp and deployed heavily throughout surrounding neighborhoods.

In Tubas, occupation forces raided areas around al-Faraa refugee camp and searched Palestinian homes in Tammun, while illegal Israeli settlers continued incursions into Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley.

Israeli occupation forces also intensified operations in the Tulkarm governorate by storming homes in Kafr Abbush and Kafr Jammal.

Meanwhile, illegal Israeli settlers attacked several locations in the Nablus area, storming the eastern part of Rujeib, entering a Palestinian cemetery in Awarta, and installing surveillance equipment. Additional settler incursions were reported at the Burak Sulayman site in Artas, south of Bethlehem.

Further south, Israeli occupation forces raided al-Arroub refugee camp, north of al-Khalil (Hebron), as well as the city of Yatta.

In Masafer Yatta, illegal settlers cut through fencing surrounding the home of the al-Hathaleen family in Umm al-Khair, continuing a sustained campaign of harassment and attempts to seize Palestinian land under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Society described Israel's ongoing offensive as the largest military campaign in the occupied West Bank since the Second Intifada, warning that Palestinian refugee camps have become systematic targets of Israeli military operations.

The organization said Israeli occupation authorities have intensified policies of mass detention, field interrogations, torture, home demolitions and collective punishment affecting all sectors of Palestinian society, including women, children, the elderly, the wounded and the sick.

According to the PPS, the number of Palestinians detained across the occupied West Bank since the beginning of Israel's war on Gaza has now surpassed 25,600.

Palestinian rights organizations argue that the expanding military raids, mass arrests, destruction of homes and escalating settler violence form part of a broader policy aimed at entrenching Israel's occupation and displacing Palestinian communities throughout the occupied West Bank.

The latest raids come as violence continues to escalate across the occupied Palestinian territories, with humanitarian and human rights organizations repeatedly warning of worsening conditions for Palestinian civilians and calling for international action to halt violations of international law and ensure accountability for abuses committed in the occupied territories.
