"Entire Palestinian communities have been forced into lockdown in parts of the occupied West Bank, a human rights group warns, as the Israeli military continues to carry out wide-scale, deadly raids in the territory. Save the Children said on Friday that families in the northern West Bank have been forced to shelter inside their homes due to the fear of violence from the Israeli military, which launched an intensified operation earlier this week."
"Israeli troops laid siege to large swaths of the northeastern Tubas governorate, starting on Wednesday, and carried out a series of major raids in other cities and towns across the occupied West Bank, including Jenin. Israeli forces have injured dozens of people in the Tubas area since the raids began, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Friday, while more than 160 others have been detained."
"An incident that was caught on camera in Jenin on Thursday, showing Israeli forces killing two unarmed Palestinian men as they attempted to surrender, has also drawn widespread condemnation. Palestinians across the occupied West Bank have faced a surge of Israeli military and settler violence in the shadow of Israel's genocidal war against Palestinians in the nearby Gaza Strip, which has killed nearly 70,000 people since October 2023."
Families in the northern West Bank are sheltering inside homes due to fear of intensified Israeli military operations, and entire communities have been placed under lockdown. Lockdowns keep children out of school, jeopardise family incomes, and raise risks of physical violence and child detention. Israeli troops laid siege to large areas of the Tubas governorate and carried out major raids across the occupied West Bank, including Jenin. Dozens were injured and more than 160 people were detained. An on-camera incident in Jenin showed two unarmed Palestinian men killed while attempting to surrender. Violence across the West Bank has surged alongside the Gaza war, which has killed nearly 70,000 people since October 2023.
