Occupied Jerusalem: The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested 30 Palestinians on Thursday in various areas across the West Bank. 

WAFA news agency reported that the IOF arrested seven Palestinians, all family members of slain Palestinians, during a raid on their homes in the city of Qalqiliya, seven others southwest of Salfit, and two other Palestinians northeast of the Occupied Jerusalem (Al-Quds). 

The IOF also arrested five Palestinians north of Tulkarm, four others in Al-Khalil Governorate, in addition to three young Palestinians in Jenin, and two others in Al-Bireh City, after having raided and searched their homes. 

In a related context, the IOF stormed on Thursday at dawn several towns and cities in Nablus. 

These developments come in conjunction with the escalation of daily incursions and attacks committed by the Israeli occupation and colonists on the cities, towns and refugee camps of the occupied West Bank and Al-Quds, including raids accompanied by confrontations and arrests, and the firing of live and rubber bullets and toxic tear gas bombs, as well as attacks on private property.
