The Israeli army detained two Palestinian youths on Saturday evening, and children were injured by asphyxiation due to inhaling tear gas, during raids carried out in various areas of the occupied West Bank, according to official Palestinian media.
Palestine Sound Radio reported that the army detained the two youths from a home in the village of Al-Mughir, northeast of Ramallah, while activists circulated videos showing soldiers forcing a young man to remove the Palestinian flag from the Martyrs' Monument. For her part, the official Palestinian news agency "Wafa" reported that the army raided the villages of Nabi Salih and Deir Abu Mash'al, northwest of Ramallah, amid the firing of sound bombs, without reporting any injuries or arrests.
In the center of the West Bank, the Jerusalem Governorate announced that an Israeli force fired sound bombs and tear gas towards vehicles at the Ram town roundabout, coinciding with vehicle congestion at the Jaba military checkpoint following its closure. In the north of the West Bank, Palestine Sound Radio reported that troops fired gas towards an olive press in the town of Aqraba, southeast of Nablus, resulting in children being injured by asphyxiation.
The radio added that gas was fired towards a vehicle and an olive press in the town, while clashes erupted between Palestinians and the Israeli army in southern Nablus during the raid on the village of Madma. Since the start of the October/Thawwar 2023 war, attacks have escalated, resulting in the killing of 1,220 Palestinians and injuring more than 13,350, and the arrest of approximately 24,600.
Tensions continue in the West Bank with the continuation of Israeli military operations, exacerbating the humanitarian and security situation for Palestinian citizens in various areas.
