Israeli forces blow off doors of mosque in Nablus as violent raids rage in West Bank

Israeli forces raid the Imam Ali Mosque in Nablus, in the northern West Bank, on February 25, 2025.

Israeli forces have raided the Imam Ali Mosque in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, confiscating the recordings of surveillance cameras installed there.

Reports said on Tuesday that the occupation soldiers blew up the doors of the mosque.

Meanwhile, the regime forces carried out incursions into northern areas of Nablus and besieged a house in the town of Zababdeh, southeast of Jenin.

Also on Tuesday, Faisal Salama, head of the Popular Committee for Tulkarm Camp Services, said Israeli troops have forcibly displaced more than 12,000 residents of the refugee camp over the past month, and destroyed 40 residential buildings as well as 300 shops.

Israel is "seeking - as is clear - to achieve political and media goals ... by emptying it (the refugee camp) of its residents, ... destroying and burning the largest possible number of homes, and eliminating basic services."

The Israeli military launched its offensive against the occupied West Bank on January 21, claiming that it was targeting resistance fighters of the Jenin Battalion.

Israel has ramped up West Bank violence since October 7, 2023, when it launched its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. Since then, the regime forces have killed at least 923 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

On Monday, the occupation soldiers stormed the city of Tulkarm, as well as Yatma, Beit Ummar, Kafil Haris, Qabatiya, and Ni’lin towns, and the villages of Marka and Wadi al-Far’a. Other raids targeted the Fawwar, Jalazone, and Tulkarm camps.
