Arrests during Israeli raids in the West Bank

Israeli occupation forces launched an arrest campaign on Friday across various areas of the West Bank.

According to local sources, the forces stormed the towns of Sarda and Beitunia in the Ramallah district and besieged two houses in the towns.

Those sources said the forces fired shoulder‑fired rockets (RPGs) at the two houses after besieging them for hours, amid sounds of gunfire in the area.

They said the forces arrested young man Abdullah al-Rimawi from inside the house in Sarda after he surrendered, before blowing up large parts of the house.

The forces also raided Beitunia west of Ramallah, besieged a house and arrested young man Mundhir al-Shaf’i, in addition to raiding a number of shops in the town and forcibly removing their doors.

They stormed the city of Ramallah, raided a café on Rekab Street and ransacked it, causing damage.

At the same time, a wide arrest campaign was carried out in various areas of Nablus, detaining released prisoner Hassan Fathi Nasser; Muhammad Omar Akouba; released engineer Baha Tafaha; An‑Najah University student Zaid al‑Sayyid; Muhammad Raed Duikat; and Abdul Rahim al‑Bubli.

Other forces arrested a young man from the al‑Fawwar camp south of Hebron, and another from the town of Beit Fajjar in Bethlehem.
