A Palestinian was wounded by Israeli army gunfire on Tuesday in occupied Ramallah, while occupation forces stormed the towns of Nahalin southwest of Bethlehem, Birzeit, and the Al-Masyoun neighborhood in Ramallah, making dozens of arrests.
The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported the arrest of eight Palestinians during a raid and search campaign conducted in the towns of Surif, Bani Na'im, Yatta, and Al-Fawar Camp in Hebron, while also seizing vehicles belonging to other Palestinians.
The agency noted that Israeli forces surrounded a mosque in Al-Masyoun and prevented worshippers from leaving. They also reported that the occupation army arrested three young men from the town of Kafr Qaddum east of Qalqilya after raiding their homes and searching them.
WAFA further stated that dozens of Israeli vehicles stormed the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan west of Salfit, south of Nablus, while the occupation army searched more than 50 homes and arrested many.
Activists also documented the incursion of occupation forces into Qalandia refugee camp north of occupied Jerusalem, where Israeli snipers took positions on the rooftops of residents' homes.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent reported that these latest Israeli incursion operations included the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarm, Jericho, Hebron, Bethlehem, and occupied Jerusalem.
He also said that the occupation forces demolished the house of prisoner Osama Bani Fadl in the town of Aqraba, south of Nablus. Fadl is the perpetrator of the Hawara operation which resulted in the killings of two settlers in August.
The correspondent added that confrontations erupted between Palestinian youths and Israeli occupation forces during their incursion into Aqraba.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that 14 Palestinians suffered from tear gas inhalation during clashes in Aqraba, while activists mentioned that a large-scale arrest campaign and field interrogations of detainees were carried out by the occupation forces in the town.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club announced yesterday that 4575 arrests have been made by the Israeli army in the West Bank.
"Aggression Beyond Boundaries"
Doctors Without Borders described the humanitarian situation in the West Bank, especially in Jenin, as beyond boundaries, amid continued Israeli aggression against citizens.
Luz Saavedra, the coordinator of the organization in Jenin, stated that the Israeli forces had besieged several hospitals in Jenin, causing direct obstruction to healthcare and even killed a child at the hospital by opening fire.
The professional reporting of these events provides a comprehensive view of the circumstances in the affected Palestinian regions, facilitating global awareness and understanding of the ongoing confrontation and human rights situation.
