The occupation launches a campaign of incursions and widespread 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 city early Saturday morning, coinciding with a campaign of incursions, arrests, and raids targeting various areas in the West Bank, including Nablus, Bethlehem, Jericho, and Tubas. Local sources reported that large forces raided and besieged the two areas, carried out a wave of arrests, and later released some detainees after holding them and subjecting them to field interrogation. On Friday, occupation forces also demolished a residential building containing three apartments in the Farsh al-Hawa area west of Hebron. In Nablus, 15 citizens were arrested during the incursion into the city and the village of Burin. In Bethlehem, two citizens were arrested. A young man was also arrested from Aqabat Jaber camp, and the occupation forces raided Ein al-Sultan camp and central Jericho, as well as the city of Tubas and the town of Tamun. The governor of Hebron and its mayor announced the activation of an emergency plan to assist the displaced and citizens stranded at the entrances to towns. The article relies on local sources without mentioning official Israeli sources, and uses language that carries an ethical description in its phrasing, such as repeatedly describing the forces as "the occupation," which constitutes an ethical bias in the author's voice.
