‘Israeli’ forces arrested Tuesday the mayor of Hebron, Tayseer Abu Sneineh, after raiding his home in the city, according to a Roya correspondent.

Local and family sources reported that a large military force stormed Abu Sneineh's home in the early morning hours, where they searched and vandalized the contents before taking him to an unknown location.

Details of the Raid and Arrest

Military vehicles surrounded the mayor's house before soldiers forced their way inside. The search of the home was accompanied by what sources described as deliberate vandalism of furniture and other contents.

The ‘Israeli’ authorities have not yet announced the reasons for the arrest of Abu Sneineh, a prominent political figure in the Hebron Governorate.

Escalation of Tension in the West Bank

The arrest of Abu Sneineh comes amid a daily campaign of arrests and raids by ‘Israeli’ forces in various cities and villages across the West Bank.

These operations often target Palestinian activists, politicians, and public figures, escalating tensions in the occupied territories.
