In east Jerusalem, Israeli police forces stormed a wedding venue in al-Eizariya town last night, assaulting guests and injuring some of them, according to witnesses. The Israeli occupation forces also carried out raids in other West Bank and Jerusalem areas, with no reported arrests.

The overnight raids come amid heightened tensions across the occupied West Bank, with Israeli forces conducting near-daily military incursions that have resulted in thousands of detentions and casualties since the start of the Gaza war.[]
