Israeli occupation forces detained at least 30 Palestinians during overnight raids across the occupied West Bank on 19 August, as illegal settlers, under military protection, continued their siege of Qusra for an 11th day straight.
The sweep fell heaviest on Hebron, Nablus, Qalqilya, Tulkarem, and Bethlehem, where soldiers ransacked properties and interrogated residents before abducting them, the Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) said, with eight seized south of Hebron, six near Qalqilya, and four in Nablus, including two brothers, according to WAFA.
In Nablus, soldiers beat a 28-year-old man, leaving him hospitalized with serious injuries, WAFA reported, adding that troops also detained residents in Qalandiya Refugee Camp and set up military checkpoints during the raid.
