Israeli forces shot live ammunition at Palestinians during raids in the West Bank on Sunday, wounding several people and conducting multiple arrests.
These operations signal a continued campaign of military raids and arrests across Palestinian territories, heightening tensions in cities such as Ramallah and Nablus.
Reports on the number of casualties vary. Some sources said two Palestinians were injured [1], [3], [4], while other reports said the number of wounded is seven [2]. The injuries occurred as Israeli troops entered various locations across the region, including the northern West Bank, to carry out security operations.
In addition to the gunfire, Israeli forces performed a series of arrests during the incursions. These raids targeted multiple urban centers, with specific reports noting activity in Ramallah [1] and other northern districts [3].
The use of live fire during these raids has been documented across different reporting outlets, though the exact scale of the injuries remains contested between sources [1], [2]. The raids were part of a broader campaign of incursions into West Bank cities to detain individuals and conduct searches [2].
Local reports describe the environment as volatile as military vehicles entered residential and commercial areas. The coordination of these raids across various cities suggests a wide-scale operational effort by the Israeli military to establish control and execute arrests in the territory.

The discrepancy in casualty numbers and the wide geographic spread of the raids reflect the chaotic nature of urban military operations in the West Bank. By conducting simultaneous incursions in cities like Ramallah and Nablus, Israeli forces are maintaining a high-pressure security posture that frequently results in civilian injuries and rapid arrests, further destabilizing the region's fragile security environment.
