BETHLEHEM, June 17, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli forces on Tuesday evening detained two Palestinians from the occupied West Bank governorates of Bethlehem and Jenin, according to local sources.

They said that the occupying forces showed up at a house in Husan village, west of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, and rounded up a 49-year-old woman, marking the second time she was detained within less than 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the gun-toting soldiers broke into a house on the outskirts of the Jenin refugee camp, muscled inside, and detained a Palestinian.

Meanwhile, a convoy of army vehicles stormed the southern part of Hebron City, where they intercepted Palestinian-licensed vehicles and assaulted their owners.

The gun-toting soldiers broke into several houses and occupied their rooftops, turning them into army outposts.

Meanwhile, the gun-toting soldiers ordered the closure of several stores and set up a checkpoint in adh-Dhahiriya town.

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.
