JENIN, June 10, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces detained a young man at dawn on Tuesday during a raid on the town of Faqqu'a, north of Jenin.

Local sources said that the occupation forces arrested Ahmed Al-Dhaker during the raid..

Infantry units deployed in several neighborhoods, and occupation soldiers raided and searched several homes.

The head of the village council, Barakat al-Omari, told WAFA that the occupation forces stormed the town at midnight with a large number of infantry units. They raided a house, forced its residents to evacuate, and turned it into a military barracks.

He added that the occupation forces arrested Ahmad Jalghoum after raiding and searching his home and interrogating his family members on the spot.

Meanwhile, occupation soldiers are checking citizens' IDs, obstructing vehicles, and interrogating their owners.

Al-Omari said that the occupation forces raid the village almost daily due to its proximity to the apartheid wall, but this raid was the largest in terms of the number of soldiers.

The village schools canceled classes for the day and announced the postponement of scheduled exams to a later date, to protect the lives and safety of the students.

It's worth noting that Faqqu'a has a population of 5,200 people and has been surrounded by the apartheid wall since 2003, which has eaten up 240 dunams of its land.
