Israeli forces ‘blow up’ house of senior Hamas leader in occupied West Bank
#Palestine #OccupiedWestBank #Aroura
Israeli forces have stormed the town of Aroura in the occupied West Bank, surrounding the family home of Saleh al-Arouri, deputy head of the political bureau of Hamas, before blowing it up, sources told Al Jazeera.
Al-Arouri is considered one of the main masterminds of the October 7 attack.
This is more of a symbolic move by the Israelis than anything else. Israeli forces are after al-Arouri. He has been on Israel’s most-wanted list for a long time.
It was unclear if there were any casualties from the raid on Aroura.
Israeli forces also stormed the Aida, al-Azza and Dheisheh refugee camps, further expanding their raid early on Tuesday to several other areas in the occupied West Bank.
Over the past few days, towns and cities of the occupied West Bank have witnessed an escalation of raids, some of them turning deadly.
According to the latest UN data, more than 1,600 people have been arrested in the occupied West Bank since October 7. More than 120 Palestinians have also been killed in the same period.
Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith joins us live from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank for the latest updates.
