Israel troops raid Palestinian villages in W Bank



The Israeli military has reportedly raided two Palestinian villages in the West Bank, conducting door-to-door searches in the occupied Palestinian territory.



According to local sources, Israeli forces raided the Palestinian village of Deir al-Samet situated near the southern occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron) on Thursday evening and broke into the houses there.



Israeli troops also took a Palestinian away without any arrest warrant, according to the reports.


Meanwhile, local sources near al-Khalil said Israeli soldiers had also interrogated dozens of Palestinians there.


Israeli forces also launched a similar assault on the village of al-Ma’sara near the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem and searched the house of Palestinian activist Hasan Breijiyya, the coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Israeli separation Wall and Settlements.


The Israeli military reportedly made no arrests during the invasion.


The Israeli military regularly raids houses of Palestinians in the West Bank, arresting activists and civilians, mostly without any charges. Many Palestinians remain under detention in Israeli prisons, where they are given minimal access to their basic rights.


In February, Head of the Census Department at the PA Ministry of Detainees Abdul-Nasser Ferwana said the Tel Aviv regime is currently holding over 4,800 Palestinian inmates in seventeen prisons as well as detention and interrogation centers.


Palestinian sources say over 180 out of nearly 5,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails are under administrative detention.
