Israeli forces carried out a series of pre-dawn raids in the occupied West Bank, abducting ten Palestinians, according to reports from the Wafa news agency.
The operations have drawn sharp criticism for their heavy-handed tactics, which included property damage and the use of live ammunition.
In Nablus, soldiers detained Louay al-Sarawi after storming several homes and leaving them "ransacked." In the town of al-Yamoun, west of Jenin, three men were taken into custody during a separate raid.
The most intense operation occurred in Qalqilya, where six Palestinians were arrested. Witnesses reported that Israeli troops used sound bombs and live fire while snipers positioned themselves on rooftops, creating a scene of fear and chaos.
