JENIN, February 18, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces Tuesday took over a residential building in At-Tayba village, west of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to local sources.

They said that the occupying forces seized a multi-story building belonging to the Abu Huluq family in the town, forced the occupants out at gunpoint, and turned the entire building into a military outpost.

The Israeli army raid prompted the administration of the local secondary boys’ school, adjacent to the aforementioned building, to issue a statement announcing that should the occupation forces continue to be deployed in the village, students are instructed to follow the remote learning modality.

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.
