RAMALLAH, May 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces detain a young man from the town of Barta'a, west of Jenin, at dawn on Thursday, after storming the town and besieging a house.

Local sources reported that a special forces unit from the Israeli army, along with several military vehicles, stormed the town and besieged a house before dertaining one of the young men inside.

The Israeli occupation forces had stormed the town on Wednesday evening and seized surveillance cameras, amidst overflights by warplanes.

The Israeli occupation forces also closed the Barta'a military checkpoint and set up flying checkpoints on the road leading to it, claiming that a shooting incident had occurred near the checkpoint, which resulted in the injury of two soldiers, one of whom was seriously injured.

It is worth noting that the Barta'a military checkpoint separates the isolated town behind the Apartheid Wall from the city of Jenin. It is the only outlet for the town's 9,000 residents to the Jenin Governorate. It is used for the movement of workers and commercial goods.
