West Bank: Israeli forces have arrested at least nine Palestinians across the occupied West Bank, with detentions spanning Hebron, Tulkarem, Jericho, and Bethlehem, according to the reports..
In Hebron governorate, six Palestinians were arrested—four adult men from the city of Hebron and two children from the town of Beit Ummar. The arrests, carried out during overnight raids, underscore the increasingly aggressive tactics used in areas with high civilian populations.
In Tulkarem, two Palestinian men were taken from the city and its Shuweika suburb. ASRA identified both as former prisoners, raising alarms about Israel's continued re-arrest of previously detained individuals.
A ninth arrest was reported in Jericho, though no further details have been disclosed.
Separately, in Bethlehem, Israeli forces arrested several Palestinian workers near Wadi Fukin village as they attempted to reach their workplaces in Jerusalem. According to reports, Israeli soldiers also seized a vehicle during the operation. The arrests took place west of Bethlehem and are part of a broader pattern of restricting Palestinian movement and livelihood.
These actions come amid a sustained Israeli crackdown across the West Bank, marked by daily raids and detentions. Human rights groups have condemned these tactics, particularly the detention of minors and the repeated targeting of former prisoners and workers, as violations of international humanitarian law.
