The Israeli military has arrested a father and son in the town of Beit Jala, located west of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, according to reports from the Wafa news agency.
According to a report by Al Jazeera, this incident forms part of a broader series of arrests and military operations across the region, as tensions continue to escalate.
The arrest of the father and son in Beit Jala occurred amidst heightened security measures and military activity in the area. Israeli forces have been conducting raids and arrests in various towns and villages across the West Bank, citing security concerns and efforts to dismantle militant networks.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces arrested a man as he was returning from the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem. The circumstances surrounding this arrest remain unclear, but it underscores the widespread nature of the military’s current operations.
Additionally, a fourth man was arrested in the Iktaba suburb, east of Tulkarem. This follows earlier reports of three other men being arrested in Iktaba after Israeli forces stormed the area. The series of arrests in Iktaba highlights the intensified military presence and ongoing operations in this part of the West Bank.
