ISRAELI OCCUPIED WEST BANK, 01 Feb. - (ANA) - In the occupied West Bank, Israeli settlers set fire to a home in the Bedouin community of Jaba, located southeast of Ramallah.

 

Footage from Friday evening shows settlers approaching the Palestinian community after dark and setting the building on fire.

 

Local residents said around 20 settlers gathered in the night from the nearby Gur Aryeh illegal outpost, and forced the Palestinian residents to evacuate.

 

Israeli forces also arrested 13 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including a young girl.

 

A Palestinian prisoner’s group, ASRA, said on Saturday two were arrested in Jenin after Israeli forces stormed the Jabal Abu Dhahir area of the city.

 

Israeli forces also carried out a raid on the Qalqilya governorate.

 

Elsewhere, Israeli forces closed the Bab al-Zawiya area in Hebron, forcing shops to close and residents to leave the area.   - (ANA) -
