WEST BANK, PALESTINE - SEPT. 19: Israeli forces carried out raids across several cities in the occupied West Bank on Friday, wounding one Palestinian and detaining multiple others, local sources said.

In Ramallah, troops surrounded two houses in the towns of Beituniya and Serda, the sources said. During the Serda raid, soldiers fired explosives at one house, sparking a fire and causing structural damage.

A Palestinian inside the house was taken into custody, according to the sources.

The Palestinian Prisoner Society said the Israeli army has arrested 120 Palestinians since the start of the week, including women, children, and former detainees.

It added that nearly 19,000 Palestinians have been detained in the West Bank since the Gaza war began in October 2023, describing the arrests as a systematic policy of collective punishment often accompanied by beatings, field interrogations, and home destruction.

Palestinian officials warn that the intensifying raids, demolitions, and land seizures are part of Israel’s strategy to accelerate settlement expansion and move toward annexing the West Bank, a step they say would permanently eliminate the prospect of a two-state solution.

Since October 2023, at least 1,042 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the West Bank by Israeli forces and illegal settlers, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared
Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
