Israeli security forces took up positions inside the West Bank city of Tubas yesterday and ordered some Palestinian residents from their homes, the latest assault in a months-long campaign across cities of the northern West Bank.
Tubas Governor Ahmed Al Asaad told Reuters Israeli forces, backed by a helicopter that had opened fire, were encircling the city and establishing positions across several neighbourhoods.
“The incursion looks to be a long one; occupation (Israeli) forces have driven people from their houses, commandeered rooftops of buildings, and are conducting arrests,” he said.
