Israeli occupation forces raided the town of Sebastya and the villages of Asira al-Qibliya and Douma in Nablus governorate early Thursday, Shehab Wire reported. The incursions were accompanied by heavy military deployment across all three locations and systematic searches of Palestinian civilian homes throughout the operation.
The raids resulted in the detention of multiple Palestinians, though authorities did not immediately specify the exact number arrested. Armed Israeli troops maintained a visible presence in the towns during the sweep, which encompassed residential neighborhoods and nearby areas. The operation was part of ongoing military activities in the northern West Bank that have intensified in recent months.
