During the occupation forces’ raid on Tulkarm camp (French)

Today, Saturday, a young Palestinian man was injured by bullets from the occupation forces that stormed south of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank. They also stormed Nablus, Tubas, and the Dheisheh camp in Bethlehem, and two areas in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron. The raids were accompanied by arrest operations that raised the number of detainees since last October 7 to 6500.

The Palestinian News Agency reported that the occupation forces stormed the town of Kafr Jamal in Tulkarm. As a result, confrontations broke out during which gunfire, sound bombs, and tear gas were fired, leading to a young man being wounded by a bullet in his chest.

For his part, Al Jazeera's correspondent said that Israeli army forces stormed the city of Tubas, in the northeast of the West Bank, and arrested a number of Palestinians.

The scope of the raids also expanded to the villages of Rujib, Burqa, and Balata camp, in Nablus Governorate, and the village of Jayyus, east of Qalqilya.

The occupation forces stormed the Dheisheh camp, in the city of Bethlehem, south of the West Bank, and arrested a number of young men this morning.

Local sources reported to Al Jazeera that 18 military vehicles surrounded the camp before storming it, and the occupation forces assaulted the residents and tampered with their property, before arresting those they described as wanted, which led to obstructing students’ access to their schools.

Raid a child's house playing

An Israeli military force also raided a house in the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan, Salfit Governorate, after spotting a Palestinian child carrying a plastic rifle.

An occupation force stormed the house and demanded that the child’s family bring him and the plastic toy he had in his possession. They interrogated them and examined the toy, before withdrawing.

Local sources reported that the 3-year-old child was playing in front of his house during an occupation forces raid into the town.

 Attack on farmers

Settlers, protected by the Israeli occupation forces, also attacked farmers in “Khirbet Susiya” in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.

The settlers prevented farmers from reaching their farms, and sheep herders from grazing their sheep, while settlers were allowed to graze in Palestinian lands.

Settlers' attacks on farmers increased in several areas after October 7th.

The number of detainees increases

For its part, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club reported that the occupation forces arrested 12 Palestinians in the West Bank since last night, bringing the number of detainees since October 7 to 6,500.

Military sources said that about 4,400 detainees are still in detention, in addition to about 5,300 prisoners who have already been languishing in occupation prisons since before the war.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Club points out that it is not yet clear how many Palestinians have been arrested by the Israeli authorities from the Gaza Strip, as the occupation hides the whereabouts of most of them, their number, and what happened to their fate.

A pregnant woman was arrested

In this context, the Palestinian News Agency said that the occupation forces continued to detain a pregnant woman, who had been arrested from her home as a hostage two days ago, with the aim of pressuring her husband to surrender himself, who was later arrested after surrendering himself.

Sources reported that the occupation forces transferred her to the so-called “Hasharon Prison crossing,” which constituted a station for abusing Palestinian female prisoners.
