Night Raids Intensify in West Bank

Israeli occupation forces have continued their night raids across various Palestinian cities and towns in the occupied West Bank, with significant operations reported in Qalqilya and Hebron. On the early morning of November 11, 2024, local sources indicated that the Israeli military stormed the town of Azzun and the village of Amatin, driving vehicles through several neighborhoods, contributing to a climate of fear among residents.

In Bethlehem, the situation escalated as forces invaded the town of Al-Khader, taking positions in critical areas such as Al-Tall, near the Great Mosque, and Al-Bawaba. Reports indicate that sound bombs were fired to intimidate the local populace, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the region.

Focus on Hebron: Targeting Local Leadership

In Hebron, the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported a targeted raid on the home of Tayseer Abu Sneineh, the city's mayor. Israeli forces conducted thorough searches of the mayor's residence and interrogated family members, which underscores the Israeli military's strategy to exert control over local leadership and communities. Additionally, the town of Beit Ummar witnessed similar actions, where soldiers confiscated agricultural materials from a Palestinian home and arrested the homeowner.

Rising Casualties Amidst Ongoing Conflict

The recent surge in military actions follows a significant escalation in violence since the onset of the Israeli offensive against Gaza on October 7, 2023. According to official Palestinian reports, these actions have resulted in the deaths of 779 Palestinians, injuries to approximately 6,300 individuals, and the arrest of over 11,600 Palestinians. This ongoing cycle of violence continues to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the region, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict.
