  • 'Israeli' forces searched multiple residences in the village, causing property damage.
  • Nine young Palestinian men were detained and subjected to field interrogations during the four-hour operation.
  • The operation occurred alongside a six-month closure at the main entrance connecting Funduq and Hajja, where 'Israeli' forces continue to maintain an iron gate.

‘Israeli’ forces converted a Palestinian residential home into an operational military post in the West Bank village of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, after forcing the resident family to evacuate the premises, according to Wafa news agency.

'Israeli' forces raided and searched multiple homes in the village, causing property damage. Among the properties targeted were the homes of Zafer Barham, Rami Obeid, and Hikmat Shteiwi.

During the course of the four-hour operation, ‘Israeli' forces detained nine young men, subjected them to field interrogations, and subsequently released them before withdrawing from the village.

The raid comes amid ongoing movement restrictions in the surrounding district.

'Israeli' forces have maintained a closure at the primary entrance connecting the villages of Funduq and Hajja using an iron gate for the past six months.

The blocked thoroughfare serves as a vital arterial route connecting the communities of Hajja, Baqa al-Hatab, Sir, and Funduq.

Local residents reported that the prolonged gate closure forces thousands of daily commuters to utilize longer, secondary routes to reach neighboring towns and essential services.
