JERUSALEM: Israeli military continued to launch operations in the West Bank Saturday, carrying out mass attacks, searching homes and forcibly displacing Palestinian residents.
The Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA) said Saturday that the Israeli operations since Friday had removed about 1,500 Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank City of Hebron, with plans to displace another 2,500 people in the coming hours.
The WAFA said the Israeli military also used earth mounds and concrete blocks to seal off major roads connecting Hebron to surrounding towns, villages and refugee camps.
On the same day, Israeli forces and Jewish settlers also attacked Palestinians harvesting olives in several parts of the West Bank, including areas near Nablus and Ramallah, causing multiple injuries on the Palestinian side. They also destroyed olive trees and other properties of the Palestinians.
