The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) launched a massive arrest and raid campaign across several West Bank governorates on Sunday, searching homes and arresting 22 Palestinians. The Palestinian news agency (WAFA) reported that the IOF arrested seven Palestinians in northern Tulkarm, seven others in Bethlehem governorate, five Palestinians in the villages of the Nablus governorate, and two others in Al-Khalil and in Dura town. The IOF also arrested former Israeli Knesset member Haneen Zoabi, after raiding her home in the city of Nazareth in the Galilee region within the 1948 territories, under the pretext of "inciting terrorism." This arrest campaign comes as part of the escalating policy pursued by the Israeli occupation in the West Bank, which aims to terrorize Palestinians, restrict movement, and persecute activists and freed captives.
