Israeli forces arrest three children in West Bank, raid town northeast of Al-Quds

Israeli occupation forces arrested three Palestinian children, aged 17, from Beit Sira village west of Ramallah, after raiding their houses.

 

The children are identified as Abdulrahman Al-Haj, Yusuf Alqam, and Mahmoud Hammad.

 

Meanwhile, Israeli forces raided the eastern neighborhoods of Al-Za’im, northeast of Al-Quds, an area recently targeted for 3,401 new settlement units under the E1 project.

 

According to the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, 2025 saw a record number of settlement tenders, totaling 10,098 units, including major projects in Ma’ale Adumim, Efrat, and Ariel, reflecting an ongoing expansion of Israeli settlements in Palestinian areas.
