The Israeli army launched a wide-scale military operation in the Tubas governorate in the northern occupied West Bank early Wednesday, resulting in the arrest of at least 11 Palestinians and the suspension of operations in educational and governmental institutions.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli forces stormed the city of Tubas and the towns of Tamoun and Aqaba, in addition to the Al-Far'a refugee camp, where they raided citizens' homes and turned several of them into military barracks, initiating search and arrest campaigns.
The witnesses added that the governorate is witnessing a heavy presence of infantry and military vehicles, which continue to raid homes.
For his part, the director of the Palestinian Prisoners Club in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odeh, stated that Israeli forces have arrested at least 11 citizens since the operation began.
As a result, the Tubas governorate announced the suspension of classes in schools, universities, and government offices until the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area.
In a related context, other cities and towns in the West Bank witnessed sporadic incursions, during which the Israeli army arrested a number of Palestinians, according to local sources.
Over the past two years, coinciding with the Israeli genocide in Gaza, assaults by the army and settlers in the West Bank and Jerusalem have escalated, resulting in the deaths of 1,065 Palestinians and injuries to more than 10,000.
The governorate is witnessing a heavy presence of infantry and military vehicles.
