Israeli forces intensified raids across the northern occupied West Bank with a new assault on Qalqilya, storming the town at dawn and deploying troops across several neighbourhoods. Homes were raided, at least two people were arrested, and one house was used as a temporary interrogation site.
The raids come amid a broader escalation in the northern West Bank following a new Israeli military operation launched in late November, which has brought curfews, mass arrests, and widespread damage to infrastructure in multiple towns.
