Occupation forces storm Ramallah and Al-Bireh and carry out arrests amid clashes.

Israeli occupation forces stormed the cities of Ramallah and Al-Bireh in the West Bank early on Saturday, carrying out a raid and arrests targeting a leader of the Islamic Jihad movement.

The forces were particularly concentrated around the Al-Am'ari refugee camp, leading to clashes with Palestinian youths.

Eyewitnesses reported that dozens of military vehicles of the occupation, reinforced by a bulldozer, advanced into the city of Al-Bireh from several directions, specifically in the Um al-Sharayet neighborhood.

Simultaneously, the forces imposed a cordon around the entrances to the Al-Am'ari refugee camp and positioned themselves in the surrounding streets, which restricted the movement of citizens and created a state of intense tension in the area.

The military operation focused on raiding several homes, where the occupation forces arrested the prominent leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, Sheikh Yahya Al-Saadi, from his home in Al-Bireh after besieging it.

During the incursion and raid, violent clashes erupted between Palestinian youths and the occupation forces, which fired live ammunition, sound bombs, and tear gas heavily to disperse the protesters, with no serious injuries reported up to the time of preparing this report.

This operation comes within the context of the ongoing escalation campaign launched by the occupation army in various governorates of the West Bank, which includes almost daily incursions into cities, villages, and camps, aimed at carrying out arrests and demolishing homes, which repeatedly leads to clashes and the occurrence of martyrs and injuries among Palestinians.
