Israeli forces demolished a memorial to fallen Palestinians south of Nablus during Monday’s raids across the occupied West Bank, local sources reported. The demolition occurred at the village’s main entrance and troops seized a display depicting a map of Palestine.
At the same time, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said its crews transported two Palestinians who were assaulted near Bethlehem’s Al‑Miniyah to a hospital, where they suffered bruises. In Kafr Dan, west of Jenin, Israeli special forces raided a home and several shops before detaining a young man, WAFA reported.
Bulldozers also uprooted olive trees and blocked roads in Al‑Lubban ash‑Sharqiya and the neighboring As‑Sawiya, shutting the iron gates at the village entrances. In Hizma, northeast of occupied East Jerusalem, soldiers fired stun grenades toward residents after closing the town’s entrances and several shops. Troops also searched the town of Ramin east of Tulkarem, where no arrests were reported, WAFA added.
