NABLUS, June 25, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday evening assaulted and detained a Palestinian teenager in al-Lubban ash-Sharqiyya village, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources.

They said that the gun-toting soldiers brutally beat up a 17-year-old teenager while driving his father’s vehicle in the village, simultaneously while firing gunshots.

The soldiers transferred the teenager afterward to a house that they had already taken over and turned into an army outpost in the village.

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 with no 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.
