Israeli forces demolished four homes in the town of Biddu, located northwest of Jerusalem, on Thursday. These actions resulted in the displacement of 20 Palestinians from their residences. The demolitions occurred as part of a series of operations throughout the West Bank. The destruction of these residential structures left the affected families without shelter in the area.

Military Operations in Gaza

Israeli forces shot and wounded two Palestinians in an area outside Israeli-controlled zones in Khan Younis, located in the southern Gaza Strip. The individuals sustained injuries from gunfire during the operation in the sector. Medical personnel transported the wounded to the Nasser Medical Complex for treatment. Neither the condition of the two individuals nor further details regarding the specific circumstances of the shooting were provided by the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA). The incident occurred as part of broader military activity within the Gaza Strip, where troops have maintained a presence in various sectors.

Raids Across Nablus Governorate

Israeli forces arrested two Palestinians in the Nablus Governorate on 5 November. These detentions took place during a series of security raids conducted across the towns of Asira al-Shamaliya, Tell, and Urif. Military personnel entered these locations as part of broader operations within the West Bank. Local sources confirmed the arrests followed the searches carried out by troops throughout the governorate. No further details regarding the identities of the detained individuals or the specific charges brought against them were provided by official sources following the completion of the raids in these three towns.

Seizures in Deir al-Ghusun

Israeli forces seized a residential home in Deir al-Ghusun and converted the structure into a military barracks. The conversion of the property involved the occupation of the premises by military personnel. During the same operation in the town, several residents were detained for more than four hours. These individuals were held by troops and subjected to field interrogations throughout the duration of the detention. The military operation in Deir al-Ghusun involved the deployment of units to search residential areas and manage the movement of the local population.

Operations also extended to the Hebron Governorate, where Israeli forces raided Masafer Yatta. Military units targeted homes and caves located in Khirbet al-Tabban, as well as in Isfay al-Fawqa and al-Tahta. The raids in these specific locations involved the inspection of dwellings and subterranean structures used by the local community. During these searches in Masafer Yatta, soldiers seized one vehicle and two agricultural tractors. The equipment was removed from the area by the forces following the completion of their search operations in the governorate.
