Israel detains 14 Palestinians, demolishes three homes in occupied West Bank

The Israeli army detained at least 14 Palestinians, including a woman, during military raids across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday and demolished three homes, according to local sources.

In Nablus, Israeli forces raided the Ras al-Ain neighbourhood, stormed three buildings and searched several homes before detaining eight Palestinians, including a woman, the sources said.

In Tubas province, troops raided the town of Tammun before withdrawing several hours later without making any arrests.

In Jenin, Israeli forces moved into the town of Al-Yamoun and detained a former prisoner from Jenin city and another Palestinian from Deir Ghazaleh, northeast of the province.

Israeli forces also arrested a Palestinian customs police officer and a young man in the Irtah suburb, south of Tulkarem, as well as two others from the village of Faroun after raiding and searching their homes, the sources added.

Separately, Israeli forces with two bulldozers demolished a home in the village of Shuqba, west of Ramallah, local sources told Anadolu.

The Israeli military said the house had been built without a permit in Area C, which falls under full Israeli control under the 1995 Oslo II Accord and accounts for around 60 percent of the occupied West Bank.

In the southern West Bank, Israeli bulldozers also demolished two homes in the village of Deir Razih, east of Dura in Hebron province, according to the sources.
