RAMALLAH, Palestine 

The Israeli army early on Wednesday raided several cities and areas across the occupied West Bank to arrest Palestinians. 

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli army raided the cities of Ramallah, Qalqilya, Tubas, Hebron, Nablus, Jenin and other areas, and stormed into homes to arrest Palestinians.

In Tubas city, the Israeli army stormed into several homes, triggering clashes with Palestinians, eyewitnesses said.

In Qalqilya city, the raid continued for several hours and live bullets were used to suppress Palestinians who confronted. At least, three Palestinians were arrested by the Israeli army from the city.

Several arrests were also reported in Nablus and Tulkarem cities, according to the eyewitnesses.

There have been no reported casualties on the Palestinian side so far.

At least, 394 Palestinians from the West Bank have been killed by the Israeli forces and settlers since Oct. 7, in addition to over 4,440 others injured.

Tensions have been high across the West Bank since Israel launched a deadly military offensive against the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which in an interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
