Safa news agency reported that 55 people were arrested in Beit Ummar, in the southern Hebron Governorate, nine in the northern city of Nablus, and one in the city of Tulkarm.

This morning, soldiers also established a military checkpoint in the village of Al-Mughayyir, where they searched numerous vehicles, causing a traffic jam.

Theoperations coincide with an increase in attacks by Jewish settlers against the Palestinian population in the West Bank, where tensions are rising due to the neighboring country’s continued violations.

According to Palestinian data, these extremists carried out 766 attacks against Palestinians in the territory in October alone.

Yesterday, the army killed two young men in the town of Kafr Aqab, located north of occupied East Jerusalem.

According to data from the NGO Defense for Children Palestine, more than fifty Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli fire in the territory since the beginning of this year.
