Occupied Jerusalem, Aug. 13 (SANA)Israeli occupation forces detained 28 Palestinians on Thursday in a series of raids across theWest Bank, as military restrictions and closures intensified in several areas.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA said Israeli forces raided homes inJenin, al-Bireh and Qalqilya, as well as the towns of Allar, Qaffin and Saida north of Tulkarm, Tarqumiyah and Kharas northwest of Hebron, and Farkha village southwest of Salfit.

Israeli occupation forces also entered Burqa, Qusra and Salem in Nablus Governorate with military vehicles early Thursday, but no arrests were reported.

East of Jenin,Israeli forcestightened restrictions and closed entrances and roundabouts along the road between Haddad Roundabout and the Jalameh crossing ahead of the opening of a settlement built on Palestinian land in the area.

The closures, aimed at facilitating the movement of settlers, disruptedPalestiniantraffic and movement, according to WAFA.

Israeli occupation forces also set up a military checkpoint at the entrance to Jit village, east of Qalqilya, further restricting Palestinian movement.

The latest raids followed the detention of 10 Palestinians on Wednesday, when Israeli forces also demolished two homes and dozens of commercial structures during operations across the West Bank.

Two UN officials warned Wednesday that the situation in the West Bank had reached a “dangerous turning point,” citing escalating violence, displacement of Palestinians and accelerating Israeli settlement activity, and called for urgent action.
