Israel carries out raids and demolitions, arrests dozens across West Bank

Israeli forces have carried out a series of raids across the occupied West Bank, detaining more than 80 people, wounding at least one man, and demolishing a home, according to Palestinian sources.

In Dura, south of Hebron, Israeli troops surrounded a residence and shot the brother of Mahmoud al-Fasfous during an operation. The al-Fasfous family has previously faced repeated raids, with Israeli authorities describing members of the family as wanted.

In a separate operation in Hebron’s Khallat Nafisa area, forces sealed off the neighborhood before demolishing the home of Imran al-Atrash using a bulldozer, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Al-Atrash and another Palestinian, Walid Muhammad Khalil Sabarna, were killed by Israeli forces in mid-November after being accused of carrying out a car-ramming and stabbing attack that left one Israeli settler dead and three others injured.

The Israeli military shared images of the demolition on its official Telegram channel, describing al-Atrash as a militant and stating that the house was destroyed as part of its counterterrorism operations
