JENIN, May 16, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Friday evening stormed Deir Ghazala town and Deir Abu Da'if village, east of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to local sources.
They said that the occupation forces barged their way into Deir Ghazala town, deploying in the streets, obstructing the movement of a vehicle, and interrogating the driver.
They also forced raided Deir Abu Da'if village, sealing off the School Street, and firing barrages of live ammunition.
The soldiers briefly held and interrogated a young man, and obstructed traffic in the village.
This came in the wake of a shooting attack on Wednesday that killed one settler and seriously wounded another near Salfit.
The occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.
These raids are conducted without a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses, in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers.
Under Israeli military law, army commanders have full executive, legislative, and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised.
