According to local sources, Israeli forces stormed the village of al‑Mazra’a al‑Gharbiya, west of Ramallah, and detained about 25 citizens inside a house they used as an interrogation center.
Several young men were informed, through their relatives, that they must turn themselves in to the Israeli intelligence during the IOF raid in the village.
The IOF also converted the home of prisoner Mohamed Shreiteh into a military post in the village. He has been held under administrative detention for seven months, and previously spent more than eight years in prison.
Israeli forces stormed other villages and towns in Ramallah, including al‑Mughayir, where fires broke out in farmland after grenades were launched.
In al-Khalil, Israeli forces raided the house of prisoner Murad Nawajaa in the Wadi al‑Jawaya area, ransacked it, and kidnaped his wife Abeer and daughter Rima.
