West Bank Security & Raids: Israel launched an expanded crackdown across the occupied West Bank after a deadly Tell shooting, with troops raiding multiple towns and villages, detaining dozens (including reports of nearly 50 in Tell) and searching homes; clashes and raids also hit areas around Nablus, Jenin, Ramallah, Jericho and Tulkarem, as funerals were restricted and Nablus Hospital was reportedly raided. Settler Violence & Policy Backdrop: The violence followed settler attacks and comes alongside Israeli moves to legalize existing settlement outposts and approve new ones, while Jordan and the EU urged restraint and warned the situation is fragile.
