The Israeli occupation forces raided multiple cities in the West Bank at
once, and stormed banks and currency exchange shops, seizing from them
large amounts of cash, according to reports from the West Bank and the *Quds
News Network*.

In Jenin, *QNN *revealed that the Israeli occupation stormed the Arab Bank
and the Al-Quds Bank, as well as the Al-Khaleej Exchange and Fakhr al-Diín
Exchange Company, and seized their contents.

According to reports by *Ynet*, an Israeli news website, Israeli occupation
forces stole about 10 million Shekels ($2.76 million) from across the West
Bank

overnight, and about 20 shop owners were detained.
Thefts recorded and documented

Videos have emerged showing occupation soldiers violating the rights of
Palestinians by invading their private properties and stealing their
belongings. This happened across a number of cities. One of the videos that
emerged showed one such scene in Tulkarm.

Moreover, the theft was recorded and documented by several social media
activists across the West Bank and beyond, showing once again that the
occupation has been adamant about violating all rights of Palestinians.

Theft, ethnic cleansing, and genocide reemerge as the preferred tool of the
occupation, and the theft of property and belongings of Palestinians in the
West Bank comes as a further confirmation of that.
Confrontations in several parts of West Bank as IOF incursions persist

*Al Mayadeen*'s sources reported that Israeli occupation forces have raided
various areas of cities and camps in the occupied West Bank since the early
hours of Thursday, confirming that Palestinian Resistance fighters

Israeli occupation gunfire during the Israeli incursion into Ramallah, in
addition to the injury of journalist Salman al-Khatib. The sources also

hospital in the city.

Our sources pointed out that large parts of Jenin suffered power outages
