ABNA24 - The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) intensified military raids across the West Bank early on Saturday, arresting several Palestinians, including a former prisoner who was rearrested just one day after his release.
The raids involved home searches, military checkpoints and restrictions on Palestinian movement across several cities and towns.

Local sources said Israeli forces entered the village of Azmut and eastern Nablus through the Awarta military checkpoint, raiding several Palestinian homes.
