Israeli forces carried out a broad military campaign on Tuesday across cities and towns in the occupied West Bank and in Jerusalem.
The most intense incursions were reported in the city of Salfit, where Israeli troops, backed by military vehicles and bulldozers, closed main roads and isolated neighborhoods from one another. The operation included the heavy use of illumination flares and extensive house-to-house searches.

Dozens of Palestinian families were reportedly forced to leave their homes at gunpoint. A young man, Ashraf Zahd, was severely beaten inside his home before the forces withdrew, leaving significant damage to both public and private property.
In central parts of the West Bank, Israeli forces entered the Umm al-Sharayet neighborhood in al-Bireh, as well as the al-Balou’ area, Jalazone refugee camp, and the city of Ramallah. The incursions led to confrontations and scattered clashes. Arrest operations were carried out following detailed searches of several homes.
In Jerusalem, particularly in the village of al-Tur, tensions escalated sharply after Israeli forces stormed the area and fired volleys of stun grenades and tear gas toward residential homes and Palestinians present in the streets.
In the southern West Bank, operations intensified in Bethlehem Governorate. Forces raided the town of Beit Fajjar, arresting one Palestinian and reportedly mistreating residents of several homes. Simultaneously, troops entered the town of Tuqu’, conducting house raids and causing damage to property.
In Hebron, the escalation extended from al-Arroub refugee camp in the north to the town of al-Samu’ in the south, where several homes were searched.
Raids also reached the village of Tell, southwest of Nablus, where one Palestinian was arrested after forces stormed his home.
These widespread operations reflect what observers describe as a systematic escalation policy pursued by Israeli authorities across Palestinian villages, camps, and cities throughout the various governorates.
