Israeli forces arrest 12 in violent West Bank raids: Report

Israeli forces have stormed multiple towns across the occupied West Bank, arresting at least 12 Palestinians in what appears to be another sweeping crackdown.

According to Wafa news agency, troops vandalised a shop, conducted roadside interrogations, and raided homes in a series of violent overnight operations.

The arrests targeted:

• Six in Qaffin, northeast of Tulkarm

• Two in Silwad, near Ramallah

• Two in Jalazone refugee camp

• One in Ramallah city

• One in Ein Siniya village

Meanwhile, Israeli force pushed deeper into Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, where they’ve maintained a near-constant military presence for months. Soldiers ransacked homes and imposed fresh restrictions on movement, Wafa reported - part of an escalating campaign of raids that have turned these areas into virtual open-air prisons.

The latest wave of arrests comes as violence surges across the West Bank, with near-daily military incursions, armed settler attacks, and a growing death toll. Critics accuse Israel of using mass detention as collective punishment.
