QALQILYA, June 17, 2025 (WAFA) -Israeli occupation forces have been conducting an ongoing military incursion into the town of Jayyus, east of Qalqilya, since the early hours of this morning. During the ongoing raid, five residents were detained after their homes were raided and searched.

Jayyus village, with a population of approximately 5,000, has been under heightened military presence. Israeli troops have established a temporary military outpost in a local resident’s home near the central mosque and have restricted movement within the village. Additionally, forces confiscated an electric bicycle belonging to another resident.

Local businesses, including bakeries, were forced to close, and all six schools in the village suspended classes. Furthermore, Israeli forces have maintained a blockade on the secondary road connecting Jayyus to ‘Azzun with a metal gate, impeding residents' movement for the fifth consecutive day.

Jayyus is situated in Area C of the West Bank, under full Israeli military and civil control, and is surrounded by the illegal Israeli colonies to the west and south. The village is also encircled by the Israeli separation wall, which restricts access to a significant portion of its agricultural land.
