Occupation army forces during previous raids in Jenin (French)
Today, Sunday, the Israeli occupation army continued its raids into the cities and villages of the occupied West Bank, and carried out raids and arrests of dozens, including former prisoners.
Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that special forces of the occupation army surrounded a house and arrested two young men from inside it in the Al-Sa'ada Forest area, west of the city of Jenin, in the northern West Bank, and sent military reinforcements to the area.
He said that armed clashes with resistance fighters broke out after the occupation forces stormed the area.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said that its crews dealt with two injured Palestinians who were beaten by the occupation forces during their military operation on the outskirts of Jenin camp.
In Bethlehem, south of occupied Jerusalem, the occupation forces closed the “Container” military checkpoint northeast of the city this morning, without providing any justifications.
The closure of the checkpoint caused a stifling traffic crisis, disrupted the movement of citizens, and delayed cargo trucks on the road linking the southern and central West Bank.
Storming and arrests
In Hebron, in the south of the West Bank, the occupation forces stormed Jaber Neighborhood and Wadi Al-Hussein in the city center and detained a group of young men and abused them at the Jaber Neighborhood checkpoint. The forces also launched an arrest campaign in Wadi Al-Hussein.
It is noteworthy that the two areas are subjected to continuous attacks by the occupation forces and settlers who abuse citizens through the checkpoints spread throughout the city.
Last night, the occupation forces, reinforced with a number of military vehicles, stormed the city of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank, from its eastern axis.
Several homes were raided in the southern neighborhood of the city.

The occupation forces also arrested 15 Palestinians, including a journalist and former prisoners, last night and this morning in various parts of the West Bank.
The Prisoners' Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club reported in a statement that the arrests were concentrated in the governorates of Hebron, Nablus, Jericho, Jenin, and Ramallah, bringing the number of detainees in the West Bank since October 7 to 7,225.
Since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, settlers have escalated their attacks in the West Bank, and the army has escalated its operations, resulting in the death of 405 Palestinians and the injury of about 4,600 others.
