Israeli occupation forces launched a large-scale arrest campaign at dawn on Wednesday in several areas of the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
The campaign was accompanied by successive raids and military intensifications, especially in the Hebron and Jerusalem governorates.
In the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, the occupation forces imposed a complete curfew and carried out a large-scale arrest campaign.
According to the Prisoners’ Media Office, the occupation forces gathered the detainees in the town’s stadium amidst acts of abuse and searches.
The arrests also included a number of young men in Hebron and Jerusalem.
The occupation forces detained a number of citizens in the field in Deir Samet, west of Dura, and the detainees were released after being interrogated in the field inside one of the houses.
In the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, the occupation forces imposed a comprehensive security cordon and prevented movement, before arresting more than 100 Palestinians, gathering them in the town’s stadium, and subjecting them to field interrogation.
Another force raided the home of the martyr Walid Sabarna, and welded shut the entrance to the house, preventing the family from entering.
The occupation forces had launched a large-scale raid campaign in the town, which included closing the entrances and preventing movement, and they confiscated a number of vehicles and turned several houses into military barracks for use during search and deployment operations, in a move that increases tension between the residents and the occupation.
The raids extended to other areas, as the occupation forces stormed the Al-Far’a camp south of Tubas, and deployed an infantry unit inside the neighborhoods before carrying out searches in a number of homes.
In Silat al-Harithiya, west of Jenin, resistance fighters targeted the occupation forces with an explosive device during the storming of the town, while the forces fired sound bombs intensively during their incursion into Beit Ummar.
