Israeli forces raided a hospital in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, detaining an injured Palestinian.

Eyewitnesses reported that the troops, disguised as civilians, entered Mahmoud Abbas General Hospital in Halhul, north of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.

They detained an injured Palestinian whose identity and health condition remain unknown.

According to the Palestinian official news agency Wafa, Israeli forces also raided the town of Husan in Bethlehem, detaining 17-year-old Ibrahim Hamamira.

On his way home from work at a car wash, he was reportedly assaulted by Israeli forces, suffering cigarette burns, other wounds and bruises on various parts of his body due to torture. After his release, he was taken to Beit Jala Hospital for treatment.

Israeli soldiers also fired tear gas at Palestinians protesting the raid in Husan, leaving many affected.

In a separate raid in Tubas, Israeli forces detained 11 people, while in Nablus, Israelis occupying Palestinian land attacked Palestinian vehicles with stones near the village of Burin.

Additionally, the Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported that Zvi Sukkot, a far-right member of the Religious Zionism Party, conducted a raid on the hospital room of Palestinian Hayil Dayfallah in Jerusalem. Dayfallah was involved in a car attack near the Givat Asaf settlement east of Ramallah.
