The Israeli army rounded up 30 Palestinians in military raids across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, while illegal Israeli settlers assaulted a Palestinian family near Nablus, leaving several people injured.
The Prisoners’ Media Office said Israeli forces carried out widespread raids involving searches of homes and the conversion of one house into an interrogation centre.
The arrests were concentrated in the northern Nablus province, where 15 Palestinians were detained in the village of Tell, 12 in Asira al-Shamaliya and another in Talfit, the office said.
Israeli forces also raided several homes in Asira al-Shamaliya and turned one into an interrogation centre.
Another Palestinian was arrested in Tubas in the northeastern West Bank and one more in Hebron in the south after Israeli forces raided and searched their homes, according to the office.
Disguised as Israeli soldiers
Separately, several Palestinians were injured early on Tuesday when illegal Israeli settlers wearing military uniforms attacked a family in Talfit, south of Nablus, according to local sources.
The sources told Anadolu that the settlers, disguised as Israeli soldiers, knocked on the door of the home of Yusuf Munawwar Abu Aisha before severely beating him and members of his family.
Several family members sustained injuries and bruises and were taken to a hospital.
The Israeli army simultaneously raided several Palestinian homes in the village, according to the sources.
Israeli army raids and attacks by illegal settlers against Palestinians and their property have intensified across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023.
Palestinians say illegal settlement expansion and attacks threaten the possibility of establishing an independent Palestinian state in line with relevant international resolutions.
