Israeli forces continue West Bank raids as Hebron lockdown enters sixth day

Israeli forces continued raids on Wednesday in Hebron neighbourhoods and towns across the governorate, tightening restrictions at the city’s entrances as its lockdown entered a sixth day. Troops also searched homes in al-Fawwar refugee camp and detained four Palestinians in Tulkarem, including a journalist, his two brothers and an officer with the Palestinian General Intelligence Service. In Beita, soldiers fired tear gas at protesters opposing the demolition of two homes; a man was injured during an attack in Yasid, and troops turned several homes in Burin into military barracks. Schools in southern Nablus switched to remote learning to protect students and staff.
