Al-Quds Brigades’ Tubas Battalion announced that it successfully detonated an explosive device against a Zionist military vehicle on the Ras al-Matalla axis, amid a widespread raid and arrest campaign in the West Bank.
This came as the director of the Tubas Prisoner’s Club, Kamal Bani Odeh, announced that the occupation forces had arrested a young Palestinian man after summoning him to the Salem camp near Jenin.
Occupation forces also arrested four Palestinians from the towns of Beita and Odla, south of Nablus, after they stormed the area and raided several homes, while in Qalqilya, Zionist forces arrested four young men in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Furthermore, Zionist forces arrested five Palestinians and raided several homes in the Al-Khalil governorate, while settlers attacked agricultural land in the Al-Hawar area of Al-Khalil city and assaulted residents and homes.
Occupation harasses olive farmers
Additionally, soldiers and settlers attacked farmers and volunteers while they were harvesting olives in the Al-Mughraqa area of the lands of An-Nazla al-Sharqiya village, north of Tulkarm, while other settlers destroyed several olive trees in the village of Kisan, east of Beit Lahm.
The WAFA agency reported that the occupation forces intensively fired tear gas canisters toward the farmers, which led to dozens of people suffering from suffocation.
In the early hours of Wednesday morning, occupation forces raided neighborhoods in the cities of Ramallah and Al-Bireh and broke into the homes of freed and exiled prisoners.
Such attacks on Palestinian olive farmers have become near-daily this season, as settlers assaulted farmers on October 11 while they were harvesting olives in various areas of Nablus and Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
WAFA News Agency reported that the settlers fired live ammunition and assaulted the farmers in an attempt to prevent them from reaching their lands, all under the protection of the occupation forces who continue to restrict Palestinian movement during the olive season.
