West Bank: Israeli forces launches a massive arrest campaign
The Israeli army carried out a new campaign of incursions and arrests in the West Bank, in a scene that has been repeated every day, especially since last October 7.
On Saturday evening, Israeli forces stormed the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank amid the outbreak of armed clashes, while three Palestinians were wounded in the town of Arraba, south of the city, and the two sisters of the deputy head of the Hamas political bureau Saleh Al-Arouri, were arrested.
Military vehicles accompanied by bulldozers were deployed in several neighborhoods in the city of Jenin, coinciding with the outbreak of armed clashes.
When the storming began, sirens sounded throughout the city of Jenin and its camp, and the resistance fighters called for a general mobilization through loudspeakers in the mosques.
At dawn today, Sunday, the occupation forces, reinforced with military vehicles, stormed several towns in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorates in the West Bank, raided several homes, and carried out extensive arrests, raids, and searches.
The raids targeted the towns of Al-Mazraa Al-Gharbiyya, Aroura, Birzeit, and Al-Jalazoun Camp, northwest and north of the city of Ramallah.
Local sources indicated that the occupation forces arrested Dalal and Fatima Al-Arouri, the sisters of the deputy head of the Hamas political bureau, Saleh Al-Arouri, who was assassinated by the occupation on January 2 in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
The occupation forces surrounded their homes in both Al-Bireh and Aroura as part of the widespread arrest campaigns they have carried out since October 7.
