Israeli Raid in the West Bank Injures Dozens
Israeli forces raided the area of Qalandiya, near Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank, injuring dozens of Palestinians and arresting many more, according to Palestinian reports. The operation came amid a sharp rise in military raids and settler violence across the territory. Residents described a heavy deployment and clashes.
The West Bank has seen a steady intensification of Israeli military operations and settler attacks during the wider war, with Palestinians reporting mounting casualties, arrests and displacement. Raids on refugee camps and towns have become near-nightly, and rights groups warn of a deepening crisis away from the world’s focus on Gaza. The Israeli military says its operations target militants; Palestinians say civilians bear the brunt. The casualty figures came from Palestinian sources and could not be independently verified. Watch whether the violence in the West Bank escalates further.
