18 Israelis detained in West Bank after clashes — Jerusalem Post

In Israel, near the Palestinian city of Salfit in the West Bank, security forces detained 18 Israelis during an operation to dismantle illegal structures in a closed military zone. This was reported by The Jerusalem Post.

Operation near Salfit

Security forces conducted a nighttime operation to dismantle structures erected in a closed military zone. According to authorities, the site had repeatedly been used as a base for violent and illegal activity.

To prevent security forces from reaching the operation site, rioters set tires on fire and erected barricades on main roads in the area. Throughout the morning, the blockages hampered traffic for local residents and Israelis passing through the area.
