Jerusalem, The Gulf Observer: Israeli forces launched raids on multiple locations in the occupied West Bank, targeting cities such as Jenin, Nablus, Jericho, Bethlehem, and Hebron, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
In Jericho, Israeli soldiers, accompanied by military vehicles, raided the Ayn es-Sultan and Akabeti Jabr refugee camps, leading to clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian youth.
Similar incursions took place in Hebron, including the Yatta district and the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem.
In Nablus, Israeli soldiers conducted raids in the Beyta town and Karyut village, entering homes for inspections and dispersing belongings.
The raids extended to Hebron, encompassing the city and the Yatta district, as well as the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem.
