Israeli forces escalate arrests and crackdown in West Bank

Israeli occupation forces have detained nearly 90 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank over the past week, while seizing more than 15 weapons, according to the military.

Following a "situational assessment", the army has imposed further restrictions on Palestinian movement by sealing off key entry points and deploying three additional battalions to the occupied territory.

Israel has been waging a weeks-long military onslaught in the northern West Bank, particularly targeting Jenin and its refugee camp, as well as Tulkarm and Nur Shams.

The campaign has killed dozens of Palestinians and displaced thousands as the occupation intensifies its repression.
