Raids and arrests in the West Bank

This morning, Friday, the Israeli occupation forces launched a campaign of raids and arrests in the West Bank.

They also arrested Khaled Asi and Anan Darwish Asi after raiding their homes, while occupation forces raided and searched a number of homes in the town.

The occupation forces have been raiding the Khalouf family home and office in Burqin for more than two months, searching for him and arresting members of his family to pressure him to surrender.

In Nablus, the occupation forces stormed the neighborhoods of Asira, Tal, At-Tur, Al-Makhfiyya, and Rafidia, raiding a number of homes, searching them, and vandalizing their contents.

Occupation forces removed the gate of an agricultural equipment store in the eastern complex before raiding and searching it.

The occupation forces also stormed the town of Deir Samet, southwest of Hebron, and searched several homes and ransacked their contents.

Meanwhile, a group of armed settlers stole a flock of more than 30 sheep belonging to Ashraf Al-Amur from Khirbet Al-Rakeez in Masafer Yatta.

The settlers sneaked into the sheep pen and carried out the theft in the late hours of the night. They were discovered by surveillance cameras in the area.
