Israeli forces launched extensive raids and searches across multiple areas of the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, resulting in confrontations and arrests. During the operations, dozens of Palestinians were subjected to field interrogations and detained for hours. Homes were reportedly vandalized and damaged during the incursions.

In Qalqilya, Israeli forces entered the city from several directions, raiding a residential building and several homes in the Al-Qar'an and Al-Nazal neighborhoods. Military reinforcements were deployed, and arrests were made. A vehicle was also seized. Forces also raided the town of Kafr Qaddum, east of the city, and searched homes.

In Nablus, Israeli forces entered the city, surrounded a house in the Upper Dahia neighborhood, and fired shots in the area. Raids also occurred in the village of Kafr Qalil, the town of Beita, and the Balata refugee camp. The forces arrested Basem Marshoud after raiding his home and destroyed the "Al-Sa'idi" martyr monument in the Central Dahia area.

In the Jenin governorate, forces raided the villages of Jalqamus and Taybeh. A special unit infiltrated the town of Ya'bad, southwest of the city, and surrounded a house, alongside raids and arrests in the town. In Tulkarm, forces detained and mistreated several young men near the التربية junction before raiding the Nur Shams refugee camp and searching homes in the Al-Mahjar neighborhood.

Further incursions took place in Al-Bireh city and the Umm Al-Sharayet neighborhood, and the village of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah. In contrast, settlers attacked a home in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, according to local sources. In Hebron, forces raided the towns of Beit Ummar, north of the governorate, and Bani Naim, east of it, searching homes. Settlers set fire to several vehicles in the Wadi Juhaysh area of Masafer Yatta.

Raids also extended to Salfit city and the town of Kafr al-Dik, west of the governorate, as well as Jericho city and the town of Kafr Aqab, north of occupied Jerusalem. During the Salfit raid, Israeli forces arrested Nihad al-Naoura, the Fatah movement secretary in the governorate.
