Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday arrested three foreign solidarity activists and six Palestinians during separate military raids in the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian local sources.
The arrests of the foreign activists took place in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah. The Palestinian News Agency WAFA quoted local sources as saying that Israeli forces stormed the agricultural outpost belonging to Palestinian resident Rizq Abu Naim, also known as “Abu Hammam’s outpost,” in the Khallayel area south of the village.
According to the sources, Israeli troops detained three foreign nationals—holding British, American, and Italian citizenships—who were present at the site to show solidarity with the Abu Naim family. The family has reportedly been subjected to daily attacks and provocations by Israeli settlers, prompting the presence of international activists seeking to provide protective accompaniment.
In a related development, Israeli forces also arrested six Palestinian residents during a separate raid on Jalazone Refugee Camp. Witnesses said soldiers ransacked several homes in the camp, damaging property and tampering with personal belongings during the operation.
Residents described the raids as part of a wider pattern of intensified military incursions across the central West Bank, often accompanied by arrests, home searches, and property destruction.
The incidents come amid rising tensions in the occupied Palestinian territories, where human rights organizations have repeatedly warned of escalating settler violence and increased Israeli military activity in Palestinian residential areas.
