Wave of arrests and military raids throughout the West Bank

Over the past 24 hours, intense activity by IDF forces has been reported at various locations in Judea and Samaria. According to the Quds News Network, journalist Islam Amarneh was arrested during a raid on the Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem. Amarneh is the sister of imprisoned journalist Asid Amarneh and the wife of prisoner Osama Hamad.

Simultaneously, reports from local sources, as published by Nablus Post, indicate that IDF forces raided the town of Seida north of Tulkarm, where they took over several homes and turned them into "military outposts." Similar reports of raids and arrests were also received from the village of Arana near Jenin, where the arrests of Hamza Munther Hanani and Haitham Ahmed al-Salah were reported (according to the Quds News Network).

In the Gaza Strip sector, the Palestine Urgent News 24 channel reported that the occupation army carried out a "large-scale demolition operation" in the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City. Additionally, Al-Ahrar News Network reported that the Beersheba District Court extended the detention of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, under the "Unlawful Combatants Law," without filing an indictment.

The issue of Palestinian prisoners remains at the center of the coverage. The Jenin News network featured the testimony of journalist prisoner Ali al-Samoudi, while the Saraya al-Quds - Ahfad al-Baha network published the testimony of released prisoner Mohammed Warsh Agha, describing the detention conditions at the Sde Teiman facility as a "slaughterhouse."
