Israeli military raids have been ongoing across the West Bank with reports of arrests in Qalqilya city and Hizma town, located northeast of occupied East Jerusalem, Al Jazeera reports.

Palestinian state news agency Wafa reports that a young Palestinian man, identified as Rami Al-Aqraa, was arrested in Qalqilya following a raid on his house, and two men were arrested in Hizma town.

Israeli forces arrested a 60-year-old father and his 29-year-old son after raiding their homes in the town. Both men were previously held in Israeli jails, Wafa reports, adding that Israeli forces fired sound bombs and gas canisters as local youths attempt to resist the military incursion.
