The Israeli army detained 12 Palestinians in a series of violent overnight raids across the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.
In the southern West Bank, occupation forces stormed homes in Hebron (Al-Khalil) and Bethlehem, arresting five young Palestinians after ransacking their houses, the official Wafa news agency reported.
In the central West Bank city of Ramallah, three more Palestinians were seized by regime troops, while in the north, forces invaded the Al-Ain refugee camp in Nablus and the eastern area of Qalqilya, arresting four Palestinians after beating them, local sources told Anadolu.
The violence continued Sunday as illegal settlers carried out coordinated attacks against Palestinian communities.
According to local reports, settlers armed with stones and sticks attacked the Al-Arara Bedouin community north of occupied East Jerusalem Al-Quds, injuring seven Palestinians and torching container homes.
The Bedouin rights group Al-Baidar warned that “the continuation of these violations poses a direct threat to the stability of the people and their presence on their lands and paves the way for forced displacement.”
In Umm al-Khair village, south of Hebron, another group of settlers attacked Palestinians working on their farmland, leaving one young man hospitalized with head and facial injuries.
According to the Commission of Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners Society, the Israeli regime has arrested more than 20,000 Palestinians since October 2023. Over 9,100 remain in detention, in addition to hundreds held in undisclosed military camps.
Since the start of the Gaza onslaught in October 2023, Israeli forces and extremist settlers have killed at least 1,069 Palestinians and wounded more than 10,300 others in the occupied West Bank.
In a ruling last July, the International Court of Justice declared the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and demanded the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Al-Quds.
