West Bank escalation: arrests and new Jenin settlement
The West Bank and East Jerusalem have witnessed a major escalation by the Israeli occupying forces, who carried out raids, search operations, and arrests in several governorates and towns, including Ramallah, Jerusalem, Hebron, Nablus, Jenin, and Qalqilya. These actions involved closing roads and turning homes into military checkpoints. The area also saw assaults by settlers, including the burning of homes, theft of agricultural equipment, and arson in farmland. Additionally, there was an escalation in settlement activities, with the laying of foundation stones for a new settlement in the town of Araba in Jenin and the cutting down of dozens of fruit trees in the governorate.
