Injuries and arrests in the West Bank as the occupation storms Nablus and Qalqilya

Palestinians were injured by the bullets of Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, where raids and arrests continued from Wednesday evening until dawn on Thursday, covering several cities and towns including Nablus and Qalqilya.

Palestinian media broadcast scenes of the occupation forces storming the city of Qalqilya, and the town of Kafr Qaddum located to its east was also raided, with several homes being searched.

The Palestinian Information Center reported, citing local sources, that the occupation forces closed the entrance to Kafr Qaddum and informed residents of a curfew in the town until eight o'clock on Thursday evening, declaring it a closed military zone.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces arrested two young men, Jabr Barakat and Muhammad Shadid, from the town of Alar north of Tulkarm, according to local media.

Earlier, local sources reported that 8 Palestinians, including 4 children, were injured during the incursion of the occupation forces into the city of Nablus, where soldiers besieged one of the houses, arrested a young man, and detained several citizens.

Sources reported from medical sources that "7 citizens, including 3 children, were injured by live bullets, 5 of them in the lower extremities, with one injury in the shoulder and another in the waist, in addition to a child injured by shrapnel, and they were transferred to the city's hospitals."

The occupation forces stormed the Nablus Municipality Fire Department building and removed the workers from it, as well as raided the headquarters of the Palestinian Workers' Union, detaining those inside, mistreating them, and conducting field interrogations.

Additionally, two Palestinians were injured by the bullets of the occupation forces, and others suffered from gas inhalation on Wednesday evening, following the gunfire and tear gas in the towns of Qalandiya and Al-Ram north of occupied Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated in two separate statements that its crews transported to the hospital a gunshot wound to the foot of a young man in the Qalandiya area, and a gunshot wound to the thigh of another person in the Al-Ram area.

The occupation forces and settlers continue to escalate their attacks on Palestinian cities and towns as part of a rapidly advancing plan to reinforce the occupation of the West Bank.
