According to a statement by the Jerusalem Governorate, Israeli forces raided the home of Ahmad Badr in the town of Al-Isawiya, northeast of Jerusalem, and detained him. During the incursion, soldiers heavily fired toxic tear gas towards residential homes, causing numerous cases of suffocation.
In a related incident, Israeli forces also stormed the Kafr Aqab neighborhood in northern Jerusalem early Sunday morning, firing a barrage of tear gas canisters toward residential buildings. The attack led to a fire breaking out on a balcony of one apartment. No direct injuries were reported.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces carried out a wide-scale arrest campaign, detaining 40 Palestinians across the West Bank, including children and former prisoners.
In a joint statement, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners Club said the arrests were concentrated in Hebron, with others reported in Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem.
The statement noted that Israeli forces have intensified arrest operations and field interrogations in the West Bank, alongside ongoing mass killings in Gaza and field executions and home demolitions particularly in Jenin and Tulkarm.
Since the beginning of the war, the total number of arrests in the West Bank has risen to approximately 17,500, including both those who remain in custody and those who were released. This figure excludes thousands of arrests from Gaza.
For the third consecutive day, Israeli forces have imposed arbitrary and oppressive measures at military checkpoints across the West Bank, enforcing a strict security cordon and a complete lockdown on all cities, villages, and camps due to the war on Iran. These measures have paralyzed daily life throughout the occupied West Bank.
