Israeli occupation forces and settler groups launched a widespread escalation across West Bank governorates and occupied East Jerusalem from Thursday night into Friday dawn, Shehab Wire reported. The operations resulted in dozens of injuries and arrests during the clashes across multiple locations.
Forces conducted raids and confrontations in several areas throughout the night, with the military presence intensifying in populated Palestinian towns and camps. The escalation included clashes with Palestinian residents who confronted the troops and settlers in the streets.
Israeli forces later withdrew from Qalandiya refugee camp following the intense confrontations. The pullback marked the end of one phase of the broader escalation that unfolded across Palestinian territories overnight.
