Israeli raids, demolitions continue as UN warns West Bank at breaking point

Israeli forces arrest 23 Palestinians and demolish the home of a man killed in a confrontation with Israeli settlers in July. Israeli forces have continued their crackdown in the occupied West Bank , arresting at least 23 Palestinians and demolishing several homes, as the United Nations warned that the situation in the territory was at a “breaking point”. The arrests and demolitions on Tuesday came as dozens of Israeli settlers continued raids on Palestinian villages, including one in Khirbet ar-Ras al-Ahmar, where a water pipeline was destroyed. According to the Palestinian Wafa news agency, those detained included two children, one of whom had a disability, as well as a man who was taken while he was grazing his livestock in al-Hadidiyah in the northern Jordan Valley. At least 11 others were arrested in the Jenin governorate, while five were detained in the Bethlehem area.
