Israeli occupation arrests 11 Palestinians, launches large-scale raid campaign in West Bank

WEST BANK, July 08 (YPA) – Israeli occupation forces arrested 11 Palestinian citizens, including a woman and the father of a martyr, at dawn on Wednesday during daily raid and incursion operations across various cities in the West Bank and occupied Quds (Jerusalem).

The arrests were distributed as follows:

Jenin, Qalqilya, and Jerusalem: The arrest of the father of martyr Nour al-Din Fayyad from Wad Burqin, a young man from Silat al-Harithiya, two others from Qalqilya and Al-Funduq village, and a young man at the Qalandiya checkpoint.

Hebron and Jericho: The arrest of a woman and a citizen from Yatta, two young men from Beit Ummar and Al-Majd village, in addition to a young man from Aqabat Jabr camp.

Military Aggression and Field Interrogations

Coinciding with the arrests, the city of Hebron was subjected to continuous Israeli military aggression, which included raiding and damaging dozens of homes, detaining citizens and severely beating them during “field interrogations,” and declaring several neighborhoods a “closed military zone.” Additionally, the Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the city of Nablus following an incursion into the Ain Beit al-Ma’ camp, where a home was converted into a field interrogation center.

These measures are part of near-daily incursion campaigns; the occupation carried out 1,140 incursions into the West Bank and Jerusalem last June, resulting in the arrest of 676 citizens, while the Palestine Center for Prisoners’ Studies documented approximately 3,000 arrests during the first half of this year.
