Israeli forces have violently raided several homes in Hebron in the occupied West Bank, breaking down doors and ransacking them, reports the Wafa news agency.

Troops apprehended three people during the incursion including a 16-year-old and two former prisoners. Israeli forces also set up more checkpoints and closed roads in and around Hebron.

Israel refused to fully open the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron to worshippers for the Eid al-Fitr holiday on Saturday, the Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs said.
