The Jerusalem Governorate said in a statement that an Israeli army force raided the town of al-Ram, north of Jerusalem, and the town of Anata, north-east of the city. No injuries or arrests were reported.
An Israeli army force also raided the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank and patrolled several of its streets and neighbourhoods, according to local sources cited by Anadolu.
In the northern West Bank’s Tubas governorate, Israeli settlers attacked water pipes supplying residents of the northern Yarza community, north-east of Tubas city, cutting off the water supply, the sources said.
The sources said the settlers had attacked the water lines supplying the community several times in recent weeks.
