West Bank attacks and arrests escalate

Violence in the West Bank escalated as Israeli police opened an investigation into a suspected price tag attack on a Palestinian village near Nablus.

Separately, an 18-year-old was wounded in a suspected stabbing attack, and the Israeli army arrested 13 Palestinians during overnight operations.

Occupiers also burned a residential room in Osarin town and uprooted trees east of Bethlehem, according to local sources.

The incidents reflect a broader surge in tensions across the occupied territories.
