Ramallah, June 21 (Petra) – Israeli occupation forces carried out a
wide-scale campaign of raids, incursions and arrests across the
occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem on Sunday, targeting cities,
towns, villages and refugee camps.

The operations included house searches, arrests, field
interrogations, road closures and the establishment of military
checkpoints. Meanwhile, Israeli illegal settlers continued attacks
against Palestinians in several areas.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club said Israeli occupation forces stormed
multiple locations throughout the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem
amid heavy gunfire and arrested 20 Palestinians, alleging that they
were wanted by Israeli authorities.

Several areas of the occupied West Bank witnessed attacks by
extremist settlers targeting agricultural lands, homes, facilities
and infrastructure. The attacks included raids, vandalism and
assaults on Palestinian farmers.

In the southern Hebron region, settlers released cattle among fruit
trees in the Khallat al-Homs area of Yatta and blocked an entrance to
the Ashkara area south of the town with earth mounds.

In Nablus, illegal settlers entered lands belonging to the village of
Qaryut and attacked a house in the al-Harayeq area of Beita.
Additional attacks targeted homes in the village of Burin, as well as
areas in Beit Furik and Salem, where farmers were prevented from
harvesting their crops.

In Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, attacks were reported in the
towns of Turmus Ayya, Sinjil and Burqa. Illegal settlers reportedly
entered agricultural lands, intimidated residents and grazed
livestock on Palestinian-owned property.

In Jenin Governorate, illegal settlers demolished an agricultural
shed in the town of Arraba and reportedly attacked farmers and
activists in nearby areas.

In Tubas Governorate, attacks were reported near Tayasir, east of the
city, where water pipelines were vandalised and irrigation
infrastructure, including water meters and network components, was
damaged in the Atouf area southeast of Tubas.

In Hebron, settlers reportedly entered the Old City under the
protection of Israeli occupation forces, while raids were carried out
on homes in Yatta and surrounding areas.

Reports indicated that property was stolen, including a caravan in
the Za’tout area northeast of Yatta.

The attacks form part of what Palestinians describe as an ongoing
escalation targeting agricultural lands and the livelihoods of
residents across various governorates of the occupied West Bank.
