Israeli occupation forces launched a wide-scale campaign of raids and incursions in various areas of the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem on Thursday dawn and morning, which included arrests of a number of Palestinians, including released prisoners, along with the raiding and searching of dozens of homes, tampering with their contents, detaining residents, and subjecting them to field interrogations for hours. Some areas witnessed confrontations that resulted in injuries and cases of suffocation, while confrontations broke out in the town of Abu Dis, southeast of occupied Jerusalem, coinciding with settler attacks in several areas. In the Bethlehem governorate, occupation forces raided the towns of Tuqu' southeast of the city and Husan west of it, arresting a young woman during the raid on Tuqu'. They also raided the Dheisheh camp south of the city, raided several homes, and arrested two young men, while conducting searches of homes during a raid on the Aida camp north of Bethlehem. In the Nablus governorate, occupation forces raided the towns of Beit Furik east of the city and Urta south of it, raiding a number of homes in Beit Furik and a home in Urta. This coincided with settlers storming the "Al-Azeer" shrine in the village and performing Talmudic rituals inside it. In the Jenin governorate, occupation forces raided the town of Silat al-Harithiya west of the city, raided a residential building, and also raided the town of Rumanah, firing gas and illumination grenades during the operation. They also raided a home in the town of Jaba' south of the governorate, coinciding with the spread of settlers on the road connecting the towns of Jaba' and Sanur.
