Israeli Forces Detain 70 Palestinians in West Bank Raids
On July 26, 2026, Israeli security forces carried out extensive raids across the occupied West Bank, detaining at least 70 Palestinians and injuring eight others during subsequent clashes. The U.S. State Department condemned the violence 'by all parties' following Prime Minister Netanyahu's order for a wide-scale military operation in Palestinian villages. Local leaders warned that the territory is becoming a 'powder keg' due to intensified settler attacks and military incursions.
