Israeli forces have detained four Palestinians during a series of raids across Hebron governorate in the southern occupied West Bank, Middle East Eye reports, citing local sources speaking to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Troops stormed the town of Halhul, north of Hebron, and arrested Muhammad Khaled Da’dara, Qusay Akram Abu Rayyan, and Mo’tasim Walid Mar’ab after raiding their homes.

In a separate raid in the town of Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron, Israeli forces also arrested Yousef al-Tarwa.

Sources told Wafa that soldiers vandalised homes and physically assaulted several detainees during the arrests.

Military checkpoints were also set up at multiple entry points to Hebron and its surrounding areas, with several main and side roads blocked by concrete barriers, iron gates, and earth mounds.
