Israeli forces kidnap at least 11 Palestinians in West Bank towns
Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of raids across the occupied West Bank late Saturday and early Sunday, detaining at least 11 Palestinians, including two children, according to local sources.
In Jenin, Israeli forces stormed several areas of the city and surrounding towns and villages, raiding Palestinian homes and detaining eight residents. Several other Palestinians were reportedly subjected to questioning during the raids.
In Bethlehem, Israeli forces raided homes in the city and detained two Palestinian children, aged 14 and 15, according to local sources.
In the Tubas governorate, one Palestinian was detained during an Israeli raid in the town of Tammun.
Israeli forces also carried out raids and searches in several other parts of the occupied West Bank, although no additional arrests were immediately reported.
The latest raids come amid continuing Israeli military operations across the occupied West Bank, where Palestinian communities have faced frequent home raids, arrests and movement restrictions. Rights groups have repeatedly raised concerns over the treatment of Palestinian detainees and the detention of children.
Palestinians and international rights organizations have condemned the continuing Israeli raids as part of a broader system of military occupation and coercive measures targeting Palestinian communities. (ILKHA)
