Israeli occupation soldiers carried out a large-scale arrest raid in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, detaining 11 Palestinians in the village of Husan, west of Bethlehem.
Security sources told Wafa said Israeli troops stormed the village in the early hours, deploying across several neighbourhoods before carrying out the arrests.
Those detained were identified as Muhammad Nader Fakhri Sabateen, 18; Ali al-Zaoul, 20; Omar Sabateen; Amjad Shousha; Muhammad Hamamra; Mustafa Sabateen; Mehran Sabateen; Zaki Zaoul; Hamad Nader Sabateen; Ali Arafat Zaoul; and Rashid Samih Hamamra.
The arrests form part of a wider campaign of near-daily Israeli raids across the occupied West Bank, which have intensified alongside Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
