Zionist forces bulldoze lands in Khirbet Ibziq as arrest campaigns escalate in West Bank
Israeli occupation forces continued bulldozing Palestinian-owned lands in Khirbet Ibziq, north of Tubas governorate, for the second consecutive week, as part of efforts to construct a military road in the northern Jordan Valley.
According to Abdulmajeed Khdeirat, head of the Ibziq Village Council, the bulldozers have focused their work on the western side of the village, near Raba, an area declared a 'military closure zone' by the occupation authorities. Palestinian citizens have been prohibited from accessing the targeted lands.
Khdeirat warned that the bulldozing aims to tighten Israeli control over vital pastoral and agricultural lands, which are essential to local livelihoods. He also highlighted the grave environmental and humanitarian consequences of these actions.
Khirbet Ibziq has long faced repeated violations by Israeli forces, including home demolitions, destruction of infrastructure, and harassment of farmers and shepherds, in what local residents describe as systematic attempts at forced displacement.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces intensified their arrest campaigns across the occupied West Bank. On Sunday evening, soldiers raided the village of al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus, where they assaulted and arrested a young man, Sami Ibrahim Daraghmeh, after beating him and his father. Sami reportedly suffered fractures and bruises before being detained.
Elsewhere, in the town of Marka, south of Jenin Governorate, Israeli forces arrested Ali Nafi' Musa, head of the local village council, and his son Zuhair, after storming and ransacking their home. The raid was part of broader Israeli military operations across Jenin, now ongoing for 174 consecutive days.
Local sources said Israeli troops deployed heavily throughout Marka's streets, launching a new wave of home raids and detentions—part of a wider pattern of aggression and daily violations in the region.
