Israeli special forces Tuesday raided the Balata refugee camp east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, surrounding a house and conducting a search inside, local sources told Anadolu.

The sources said an Israeli undercover unit infiltrated the Schools Quarter inside the camp before surrounding the area as military reinforcements arrived.

Israeli forces then surrounded a house inside the camp and began searching it while damaging its contents, accompanied by police dogs, the sources added.

The sources said Israeli forces remained inside the house and continued search operations in the area.

The raid comes amid escalating attacks by Israeli forces and illegal settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank since the start of Israel's genocidal Gaza war on Oct. 7, 2023, which lasted two years.
