The official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, quoted security sources as saying, "The occupation forces stormed the town of Idhna, west of the city of Hebron, in the southern West Bank, raiding dozens of homes and detaining dozens of Palestinians, including the mayor, Jaber Tamizah." The sources noted that the army subjected the detainees to field investigations before releasing them.
She added that the army also arrested two Palestinians from the town, Khalil al-Kharouf and Aseed Abu Juhaisha. Also west of Hebron, the occupation army stormed the town of Tarqumiya and arrested two young men near the racist separation and expansion wall: Osama Adeis Salama Younis and Moataz Salama Younis, according to WAFA.
The agency reported that settlers assaulted Palestinian citizen Khalaf al-Rajabi in the al-Khallah area of Hebron.
In this context, the agency reported that a Palestinian child was injured Saturday night by Israeli gunfire during an army raid on the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, in the southern West Bank. The agency added that the army fired live ammunition, tear gas canisters, and sound bombs during the raid.
She confirmed that the army forces assaulted "a number of young men and children."
In turn, the Palestinian Information Center reported that a Palestinian youth was injured by Israeli gunfire on Saturday night during clashes that took place in the town of Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah, in the central West Bank.
The center explained that "the occupation forces opened fire on young men from Sinjil, while they were confronting settlers' storming of the Jabal al-Tall area south of the town, resulting in him being shot in the chest."
He pointed out that "dozens of settlers renewed their raid on the Jabal al-Tall area on Friday evening, where young men from the town set fire to several locations to prevent the settlers from advancing toward citizens' homes."
According to the center, the Sinjil area has witnessed "extensive" attacks by settlers over the past few days, resulting in the martyrdom of a Palestinian, the burning of agricultural rooms and barns, the theft of livestock, and the erection of a settler tent, without specifying the time period.
Meanwhile, Israeli settlers cut off water lines to a Palestinian Bedouin community north of Jericho, east of the occupied West Bank, on Saturday.
Hassan Malihat, general supervisor of the Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights and Targeted Villages, explained that "a group of settlers cut off the water lines extending from the Auja Spring, which deliver water to the homes of citizens in the Auja Waterfall community, north of Jericho."
In a statement, Malihat said that the settlers "carried out provocative tours in their vehicles between residents' homes and cut off water pipes extending from the Auja Spring."
He added that these "provocative actions come within the context of attempts to forcibly displace residents from their lands, as part of a systematic escalation policy aimed at emptying the Palestinian Jordan Valley of its indigenous inhabitants."
In parallel with the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli occupation army and settlers escalated their attacks in the West Bank, resulting in the deaths of more than 958 Palestinians, the injury of nearly 7,000, and the arrest of 16,400, according to Palestinian data.
