RAMALLAH, February 18, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces Tuesday evening beat up a youth in Nabi Saleh village, northwest of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, according to local sources.

They said that the occupying forces stormed the village, simultaneously while firing barrages of tear gas canisters.

The heavily armed soldiers brutally assaulted a 30-year-old man and briefly held him.

Eyewitnesses said that the soldiers broke into the building of the old school, which had been vacant for a long period, as sounds of the destruction of the doors could be heard.

The occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.

These raids are conducted without a search warrant whenever and wherever the military chooses, in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers.

Under Israeli military law army commanders have full executive, legislative, and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised.
