🇮🇱🇵🇸 Last night, Israeli security forces conducted one of the largest raids in recent memory in over ten settlements of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. ▪️ The largest operation took place in Nablus, where IDF units entered the campus of An - Najah University for the first time since 1992 to detain students. According to the latest data, about 25 people were arrested on charges of links with Hamas. ▪️ In Qalqilya, Israeli security forces destroyed two houses, conducted searches in the area of one of the hospitals, and detained more than ten Palestinians. There were also exchanges of fire with local terrorists, resulting in one militant being wounded. ️The large-scale raids were likely a response to yesterday’s calls by radicals for a general protest after the Israelis killed several teenagers near Ramallah. The cause of their murder is not known for certain: Palestinian media report the shooting occurred after the teenagers took part in a protest, while Israeli media report their attempt to attack an IDF military base. However, the situation itself in the West Bank still remains under the complete control of the Israelis. All recent attempts by local activists to organize unrest in the region either lacked support from the population or were promptly suppressed by the security forces. And all the calls for a “new intifada” remained only in the online space. This is largely due to both the lack of unity among local groups and the policies of the head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, who, during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, proved to be an effective puppet for the Israelis. #Israel #Palestine Источник: Rybar in English
