The report said the soldiers arrested:

  • Six people in the town of Qaffin, northeast of Tulkarem.
  • Two people in the town of Silwad, near Ramallah.
  • Two people in the Jalazone refugee camp.
  • One person in Ramallah.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued months-long incursions into the Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps, breaking into and searching homes and imposing new movement restrictions, Wafa said.
