VIDEO: ‘Israel’ steps up raids across West Bank towns

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) carried out wide-scale raids on multiple cities and towns in the occupied West Bank early Monday, focusing on the cities of Al-Bireh and Tubas. 

These raids coincided with settlers’ bulldozers leveling private Palestinian lands north of Ramallah.

Local sources reported that large units of the ‘Israeli’ army, accompanied by at least one armored military vehicle, continued to assault several neighborhoods in Al-Bireh, with troops deployed throughout the streets.

In the northern West Bank, IOF stormed the city of Tubas, entering several neighborhoods and triggering confrontations with local residents.

Simultaneously, settlers bulldozed large areas of privately owned Palestinian lands in the “Batn al-Halawa” area of Sinjel, north of Ramallah.

Eyewitnesses stated that the bulldozers, protected by the ‘Israeli’ army, were used to seize lands and expand nearby settlement outposts.

Confrontations broke out with youths attempting to resist the incursion.
