In the early hours of Saturday, the occupation forces carried out raids in various areas and towns, including the northern West Bank city of Qalqilya, where they stormed a house under the claim that one of the pursued Palestinians was fortified inside it.
During the operation, the occupation forces brought in additional military reinforcements and entered the city from its northern and eastern axes before later withdrawing.
Al Jazeera's correspondent also reported the Israeli army's invasion of the city of Bethlehem, with Palestinian platforms broadcasting scenes of the incursion. Activists confirmed that the occupation forces also raided the town of Idhna west of Hebron early this Saturday.
This comes concurrently with the Palestinian Ministry of Health confirming today the martyrdom of two children and a young man by the occupation's gunfire near the "Adora" settlement west of Hebron on Friday evening. Local sources stated that the three martyrs are cousins who collected iron and were accustomed to traveling via the settlement road and were martyred at the entrance to the settlement on suspicion during an armed incident.
Since launching its aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the Israeli army has intensified its military operations in the occupied West Bank, increasing the pace of incursions, raids, and arrests.
