Israeli occupation forces detain 10 Palestinians, including women, in Qalqilia

QALQILYA: Israeli occupation forces raided the city of Qalqilya and the nearby town of Azzoun in the West Bank late last night, detaining at least ten Palestinians. The majority of the detainees are relatives of individuals whom the occupation authorities claim are wanted. Local sources reported that a large contingent of Israeli troops carried out extensive raids across various neighborhoods in Qalqilya. The forces broke into homes and residential buildings, conducted searches, and assaulted some residents. Several Palestinians were subsequently detained. The raids in Qalqilya were focused on homes belonging to individuals the Israeli authorities consider "wanted." In Azzoun, located east of Qalqilya, Israeli forces detained at least five Palestinians, including children, and siblings of a wanted individual in an effort to compel him to surrender to the occupation authorities.
