‘Israeli’ forces escalate presence in Jerusalem during the first day of Ramadan.
Reinforcements, including a commando brigade, deployed in the West Bank amid rising regional tensions.

‘Israeli’ authorities have intensified military operations in Jerusalem and surrounding areas on the first day of Ramadan, according to reports from the ‘Israeli’ Broadcasting Corporation. Security forces are on high alert, with border guards and police deployed across the city.

The army has also sent a commando brigade to the West Bank, preparing for potential regional confrontations. Officials state they are ready for all scenarios amid heightened tensions along the separation barrier.

West Bank Home Targeted

In southern West Bank, ‘Israeli’ forces, accompanied by demolition equipment, entered a home near the settlement of Haggai south of Hebron. The operation is reportedly preparatory to demolishing the property, drawing local condemnation and concern from Palestinian residents.

Regional Concerns

Security sources warn the deployments reflect growing fears of escalating clashes in the occupied territories. The heavy presence in Jerusalem during Ramadan raises concerns over potential confrontations at holy sites, a period historically marked by heightened friction.

Authorities maintain the measures are precautionary, while local residents and human rights groups criticize the intensified military operations as provocative.
