RAMALLAH, June 12, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Thursday evening detained two Palestinians from the occupied West Bank governorates of Ramallah and Jenin, according to eyewitnesses and local sources.

Eyewitnesses said that the heavily armed soldiers brutally assaulted a young man, pinned him to the ground, and eventually detained him from Kobar town, northwest of Ramallah.

A video footage shows a soldier pinning the young man to the ground while handcuffed after beating him up.

Meanwhile, Israeli troops showed up at a store in al-Yamoun town, west of Jenin, muscled inside, held all those inside, and rounded up a young man.

The gun-toting infantry soldiers held and assaulted several minors, and fired barrages of tear gas in the streets and towards a gathering of people near a fodder factory.

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 the need for 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.
