SALFIT, March 4, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces Tuesday evening seized an excavator from Qarawat Bani Hassan town, west of the occupied West Bank city of Salfit, according to local sources.

They said that the occupying forces confiscated the excavator from a stone-cutting factory near the town entrance.

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.
