In the Qalqilya district, six Palestinians were detained during a raid on the village of Kafr Laqif, east of the city. Among those detained were members of two families. Israeli forces also stormed the nearby village of Sir, where they detained two more Palestinians after searching their homes.
In Bethlehem, a Palestinian man was detained after being summoned by Israeli intelligence to the Gush Etzion settlement bloc. The individual was taken into custody upon arrival.
In Nablus, Israeli forces detained two Palestinians during a violent overnight raid. One of the two was shot with live ammunition before being detained. Medical crews from the Palestinian Red Crescent were reportedly prevented from reaching the injured man.
