Israeli forces and Jewish settlers have intensified raids and demolitions across the occupied West Bank, detaining at least fifty Palestinians. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, the operations took place in several areas including Hebron, Yatta, and Beit Ummar, where forty people were arrested, some of them former prisoners. In Jenin’s Kafr Qud village, an Israeli shooting left one Palestinian youth seriously injured and hospitalized.

In Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood near the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Israeli bulldozers demolished Palestinian-owned land and cleared debris from previously destroyed homes. In the Tubas region, Israeli forces destroyed water pipelines in Tammun and continued clearing privately owned Palestinian land to build a 22-kilometer road between Nablus and Tubas. Military checkpoints and roadblocks were also reinforced around Hebron, restricting movement.

The report comes as global attention remains focused on U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan, creating a backdrop for Israel’s escalated actions in the West Bank.
