The Israeli military has arrested several young men from the outskirts of Tulkarem, in a continuation of its 11-day operation against the occupied West Bank city, the Wafa news agency reports.

Multiple military operations have been carried out across Tulkarem over recent hours, targeting the Tulkarem refugee camp and a hospital, while Israeli forces are also occupying buildings throughout the city.

Wafa reports that the Israeli military assaulted a young man and arrested four others from the Thinnabeh neighbourhood, east of Tulkarem, after raiding several homes.

Wafa also reports that the Israeli military has stormed the town of Attil, north of Tulkarem, where they raided and searched several homes, while a separate unit raided the nearby village of Kafr al-Labad.
