Israeli Raids Sweep West Bank as Homes Demolished and 30 Palestinians Detained

Israeli occupation forces have continued raids across various areas of the occupied West Bank in Palestine, taking 30 Palestinians into Israeli custody, according to reports. Israeli forces are arresting large numbers of people in the northern areas of Nablus province. Fifteen people were taken into custody from a village called Til, while 12 people were detained from Asira al-Shamaliya. One person was also arrested in Talfit, and one person each was arrested in Tubas and Al-Khalil. The Palestinian Prisoners Media Office said Israeli forces entered civilian homes in Asira al-Shamaliya, searched and inspected the houses. The office said one home had been turned into a centre to which Israeli soldiers bring civilians for questioning. As Israeli forces operate in the West Bank, Israeli settlers living illegally on Palestinian land are also targeting attacks on Palestinians. Settlers attacked Palestinian families in an area near Nablus, injuring a large number of people. The settlers carried out the attack on the family disguised as Israeli soldiers, wearing military uniforms. They went to the home of Palestinian citizen Yousef Munawwar Abu Aisha, knocked on the door, and attacked and abused him and members of his family. Many members of the family sustained serious injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment. In addition to Yousef Munawwar Abu Aisha's home, Israeli settlers also attacked the homes of other Palestinians. In the past 24 hours, Israeli forces have demolished more than 80 homes in the Ad-Dahiya neighbourhood. As a result, more than 380 Palestinians have been deprived of shelter, including 200 students. It appears the homes were demolished as part of a campaign being carried out by Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, ahead of the upcoming Israeli elections.
