Israeli occupation forces arrested two citizens in the West Bank at dawn on Monday morning.

In Hebron, the occupation forces raided the neighborhoods of Al-Dhaher, Al-Qurna, and Al-Tarbiqa, stormed a number of citizens’ homes, searched them, and ransacked their contents. They arrested Muhammad Saadi Bahar (40 years old), Bilal Harbi Abu Ayyash (27 years old), and Wadih Muhammad Awad (21 years old). The occupation soldiers also seized three vehicles during the raid, belonging to the detainees.

The occupation forces also set up several military checkpoints at the entrances to Hebron, its towns, villages, and camps, and closed a number of main and secondary roads with iron gates, cement blocks, and earth mounds.

In Qalqilya, an Israeli occupation force stormed the village of Baqa al-Hatab from its main entrance, raided a number of homes, and arrested citizens Sami Batta and Saed al-Hakam after raiding and searching their homes.

The occupation forces also stormed the village of Hajja, east of Qalqilya, and roamed its streets without making any arrests.

In a related development, Israeli occupation forces continue to close the entrance to the village of Kafr Laqif, east of Qalqilya, for the eighteenth consecutive day with an iron gate, obstructing the movement of residents and forcing them to use rough dirt roads to reach their homes or workplaces.

In Nablus, Israeli occupation forces stormed Balata refugee camp and raided several homes of prisoners released in the recent exchange deal. They arrested prisoner Fahed Sawalhi, who was released several months ago after spending 23 years in Israeli prisons. They also raided the homes of released prisoners Hamida Marshood and Atallah Issa.
