Israeli forces have imposed curfews, blockaded refugee camps, carried out mass arrests, and destroyed homes across the occupied West Bank, leaving entire communities under siege.

The Israeli occupation army has continued its military operations across the occupied West Bank, imposing a curfew, besieging towns and refugee camps, and carrying out arrests and demolitions.

For the fourth consecutive day, Israeli forces have maintained a siege on Tamoun and Al-Far’a refugee camp, south of Tubas, in the northern West Bank. 

The military declared a 48-hour curfew on Tamoun and reportedly bombed parts of the town, worsening an already dire humanitarian situation.

According to Al-Jazeera sources, dozens of families trapped inside Tamoun have issued distress calls as food and medical aid remain blocked.

Meanwhile, the official Palestinian News Agency WAFA reported that Israeli forces detained a man and his two sons in Tamoun. 

The siege on the Al-Far’a refugee camp has also continued for four days, with residents unable to receive food and water. 

Ambulance crews have been denied entry, and Israeli forces have raided homes, expelled residents, and carried out widespread arrests, according to sources cited by Al-Jazeera.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces blew up the home of Muhammad Asri Fayyad, a leader in the Jenin Battalion of the Al-Quds Brigades, in the Al-Ghabs neighborhood of Jenin refugee camp. 

The army has been conducting a large-scale operation in Jenin for 16 consecutive days, sending military reinforcements to the camp.

WAFA also reported that Israeli forces detained two Palestinian youths in Jenin, while continued bombings and home demolitions left smoke rising over the camp.
