In the village of Abu Njeim, southeast of Bethlehem, the army arrested a Palestinian, impounded his vehicle, and issued the same notices in Jenin Governorate to shops near the Arraba Junction, south of the city.

WAFA cited Tareq Aghbaria, Jenin Governorate’s settlement affairs official, as saying that Israeli soldiers stormed the area and issued notices ordering the evacuation of these commercial structures within a week, ahead of leveling operations.

Tareq Ighbariyeh, head of the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission office in Jenin, said Israeli soldiers, accompanied by crews from the so-called “Civil Administration,” invaded the area and delivered demolition notices ordering owners to evacuate the structures within one week.

Ighbariyeh said the notices came after field inspections among shops, workshops, agricultural facilities, and vehicle showrooms near the Arraba junction south of Jenin.

He warned that the demolition orders form part of a broader Israeli colonial plan targeting the region, as Israeli authorities moved to re-seize the former Arraba military base evacuated by the army in 2005.

The same day, the IMEMC News report described widespread invasions, abductions, home searches, and movement restrictions across multiple districts of the occupied West Bank, including Bethlehem, occupied Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Jenin.

WAFA reported that Israeli occupation forces issued demolition notices for eight commercial structures near the Arraba junction, south of Jenin, and said Tareq Ighbariyeh told WAFA that soldiers stormed the area and conducted a field inspection before delivering eight notices.

WAFA said the area houses dozens of commercial shops, industrial workshops, warehouses, agricultural facilities, and car dealerships, making it an important economic and agricultural hub in Jenin governorate.

Fana News also described Hebron as mired in settler rampages in the Huwwara area, east of Yatta, resulting in cases of bruising and asphyxiation among Palestinians, including children.

In that account, local sources said Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians and their property, severely beating them and using pepper spray, and that occupation forces positioned in the same area detained two siblings throughout these incidents.
