Repeated clashes in Aqabat Jaber
Aqabat Jaber has been the scene of repeated clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians.
The Aqabat Jaber Battalion, a terrorist cell affiliated with Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades, was launched in the refugee camp earlier this year. It is unclear as of yet if any of the arrested suspects were affiliated with the cell.
Israeli forces raided Beita, near Nablus, on Thursday morning as well, according to Palestinian reports. Additionally, Israeli forces reportedly surrounded a home in the Al-Ghafer area between Al-Yamoun and Silat Al-Harithiya near Jenin and demanded that the occupants surrender themselves.
