JENIN, Thursday, August 6, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Thursday evening detained several young men and ransacked stores in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to local sources.

They reported that the occupying forces barged their way into the Al-Zayed Roundabout area of the city, where earlier today dozens of Palestinians surrounded an Israeli-licensed vehicle.

The gun-toting soldiers sealed off the area, rounded up several young men, and broke into commercial shops, ransacking their contents.

There was no immediate information on any casualties.

Earlier today, two colonists drove their vehicle into the city. Subsequently, their vehicle allegedly came under a stone-throwing attack. The colonists were unharmed.

Meanwhile, a convoy of Israeli army vehicles stormed the town of Aqaba, north of Tubas City, where soldiers deployed in the town center and obstructed passersby’s movement before withdrawing.

The occupying forces conducted a similar raid in Tubas, deploying in the downtown of the city and unleashing barrages of stun grenades toward young men.

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.
