The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) raided several cities and towns in the occupied West Bank early Sunday, carrying out a campaign of arrests

Palestinian sources reported that the IOF stormed with a “large military force” consisting of 20 vehicles, the town of Illar north of Tulkarm, roaming its streets and several neighborhoods and stationed in its western area, while deploying patrols in the plains near the town's entrance.

They added that the “Israeli” forces raided several houses, including the home of the martyr Jameel Ja'ara, conducting extensive searches inside and interrogating its residents without reporting any arrests.

Meanwhile, clashes erupted early Sunday between Palestinian youth and the IOF in the village of Beit Sira west of Ramallah.

Palestinian sources further reported that a number of military vehicles stormed the village, and clashes ensued during which “Israeli” soldiers fired stun grenades and tear gas, with no reported injuries.
