At midnight sharp, the military stormed the village of Rummana west of Jenin, one of the towns hardest hit by military operations since the beginning of last year.
Dozens of people were suffocated by tear gas and stun grenades thrown by uniformed officers.
The soldiers also entered the neighboring towns of Jalboun and Faqqu’a, official Wafa news agency said.
Meanwhile, dozens of Israeli settlers damaged scores of Palestinian cars at the entrance to Yasouf.
In addition, acts of vandalism by these radical groups have been reported in other areas of the West Bank.
The Palestinian government blamed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for increasing attacks by these people in the occupied territories and for inciting various members of his cabinet to commit crimes.
These violations confirm “the policies pursued by Netanyahu’s far-right executive branch and are also a direct reflection of campaigns to incite the assassination of Palestinians, particularly by racist extremists,” the State Department denounced in a statement.
The Israeli ruling coalition is systematically undermining all regional and international efforts to resume dialogue to resolve the conflict, he said.
The Foreign Ministry also criticized the statements made by far-right ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir.
In another statement on Saturday, the ministry called the statements made by Ben Gvir, the chief of national security, as outlandish and genocidal.
The State Department said that “these comments reflect Israel’s deep contempt for Palestinian life and the pervasive culture of impunity for Palestinian life and rights.”
Ben Gvir has been charged more than 50 times and convicted eight times of rioting, vandalism and incitement to racism. He is known for for years keeping in his living room a photo of Baruch Goldstein murdering 29 Palestinians in the Cave of the Patriarchs in 1994. .
