Israel Raids 10 Cities Across Occupied West Bank
------------------------------------------------

Israel's military has launched its most intense raids in the occupied
West Bank since Israel began its assault on the Gaza Strip following
Hamas's attack on October 7. Overnight, Israeli forces raided 10 cities,
including Ramallah, where at least one Palestinian was shot and killed
and 15 others wounded during confrontations with Israeli soldiers. The
Palestine Monetary Authority says Israeli troops targeted at least six
money exchange companies, seizing over $2 million worth of funds.
Meanwhile, disturbing details are emerging about an Israeli drone strike
on the Nur Shams refugee camp that killed six Palestinians. The head of
the Tulkarem Medical Syndicate reports Israeli soldiers stopped and
boarded ambulances carrying people injured in the bombing. One patient
was reportedly stabbed in the neck, while two others were removed from
ambulances and severely beaten.
