NABLUS, July 31, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Friday dawn detained ten Palestinians from various parts of the occupied West Bank, according to security and local sources.
They reported that the gun-toting soldiers stormed several neighborhoods in Nablus city and rounded up a Palestinian.
The occupation troops also raided the towns of Tell and Salem, southwest and east of the city, where they ransacked several houses and detained six others.
In the Tulkarm governorate, the soldiers showed up at a house in Anabta town, broke inside, and detained an occupant.
Meanwhile, a convoy of army vehicles stormed Bethlehem, where the soldiers broke into a house and detained an occupant.
In Ramallah, the occupying forces barged their way into Qaddura refugee camp, where the heavily armed soldiers ransacked the Popular Committee’s premises and unleashed barrages of tear gas canisters near Ramallah Medical Complex.
In the course of the raid, the soldiers rounded up an inhabitant of the refugee camp.
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 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.
According to the latest figures from Addameer, the Palestinian Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, there are currently 9,300 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention centers, including 350 child prisoners and 56 female prisoners.
This number includes approximately 3,358 Palestinians placed under “administrative detention”, which allows the detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing.
