Biggest Ramallah raid in years, dozens arrested
A report by Reuters citing witnesses said Israeli forces drove dozens of military vehicles into the city overnight in Ramallah which is also the headquarters of the Palestinian Authority led by President Mahmoud Abbas.
Additionally, Israeli forces tore up a main road in the West Bank city of Tulkarm during a raid there, reported Reuters.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA said Israeli forces also stormed the West Bank city of Nablus and blew up a house.
The residence supposedly belonged to a man accused of carrying out an attack which led to the death of a British-Israeli mother and her two daughters in April in the occupied Palestinian territory.
The man, Moaz al-Masri who Israel accused was killed by IDF soldiers last May.
Israeli forces, which conducted overnight raids, arrested 55 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society.
In a statement, the Palestinian organisation also said that the arrest operation was concentrated in the Hebron governorate where nearly two dozen people were detained.
Violence in West Bank
Since the Palestinian militant group Hamas’ terror attack on southern Israel on October 7 which triggered the ongoing war in Gaza, there has been a major surge in violence in the occupied West Bank as well.
