Occupation launches widespread raids and arrests in the West Bank and forces families to evacuate their homes in Hebron
Israeli occupation forces forced dozens of residents to evacuate their homes in the al-Jalda and Deir Baha areas of Hebron early Saturday, amid a campaign of raids, arrests, and incursions across the West Bank, including Nablus, Bethlehem, Jericho, and Tubas. Local sources reported that large forces stormed and besieged the two areas, carried out widespread arrests, and later released some detainees after field interrogation. On Friday, occupation forces demolished a residential building with three apartments in Farsh al-Hawa west of Hebron. In Nablus, 15 citizens were arrested during a raid on the city and Burin village. Two citizens were arrested in Bethlehem. A young man was arrested from Aqabat Jaber camp, and raids targeted Ein al-Sultan camp and central Jericho, as well as Tubas and Tamun. The governor of Hebron and its mayor activated an emergency plan to assist the displaced and stranded citizens. The article relies on local sources without citing official Israeli sources, and uses language carrying an ethical description in its phrasing, such as repeatedly describing the forces as "occupation," constituting an ethical loading in the writer's voice.
