The military stated that they were suspected of carrying out previous shooting attacks, including one in October that resulted in the death of an Israeli soldier, as well as future ones.
A spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the raid and blamed the Israeli government for “this dangerous escalation, which is pushing the region towards tension and an explosion.”
The Palestinian militant group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, issued a warning that it “is losing patience with the escalating crimes committed by the enemy against our people in the occupied West Bank”
Israel has intensified searches, arrests, and intelligence-gathering raids in Nablus and nearby Jenin over the past year in response to a spate of deadly Palestinian attacks.
