In another place in the northern West Bank, the occupation arrested three from Kafr Dan town, west of Jenin, in addition to four others, including a former inmate along with his two brothers, from al-Yamun town, northwest of the city.
In Nablus, the sources asserted that multiple invasions in Tell village, Rafidiya neighborhood in the western part of the city, and Balata, on the outskirts of the city, resulted in the arrest of three others.
In Ramallah, Israeli soldiers barged their way into the Al-Bireh city neighborhood of Umm Sharayet, re-arrested a former inmate, and ransacked his house, turning it upside down.
In Jerusalem, Israeli soldiers arrested another after forcibly entering his house in the Al-Tur neighborhood.
In the southern West Bank, the forces conducted a similar raid in al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem, and imprisoned another after storming his parents’ house.
In Hebron, gun-toting soldiers stormed three houses in Beit Ummar town, north of the city, muscled and wreaked havoc inside, and eventually detained three others.
The sources clarified that four others were imprisoned from the southern West Bank district; two from Halhul, another from the al-Arroub refugee camp, and a former prisoner from the city.
