PNN – Israeli troops conducted three raids throughout the West Bank concluding on Thursday morning but made no arrests.
Israeli troops raided al-Shawawreh, a village east of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, and searched the homes of Issa Ruba'iyeh and Qader al-Dar'awi.
In the north, Israeli forces entered the communities of al-Irqeh and Burqin, both west of Jenin. Secure local sources told official Palestinian news wire Wafa that the troops first entered in villages in vehicles, then spread out on foot. Many residents of Burqin were gathered in the center of town, but no arrests were made.
Settlers were reported to have surrounded the Jenin-area villages of Yab'ad and East Bart'a, but nothing came of the incident.
