Israeli occupation forces launched a continued operation in the town of Azzun, located east of Qalqiliya in the occupied West Bank, the Ma'an news agency reported. The incursion was accompanied by a broader campaign of raids and arrests across the region.
The forces entered the town as part of what appeared to be a coordinated security operation. Residents of Azzun, a Palestinian community in the northern West Bank, faced disruptions as troops moved through the area conducting the sweep.
