Local mosques were prevented from holding dawn prayers.<\/p>\n<p>Rights groups have condemned the constant raids across the occupied West Bank and worsening living conditions. The Israeli human rights organisation B\u2019Tselem says the plan is to make the territory \u201cunliveable\u201d for Palestinians.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:block;position:relative;min-width:0px;max-width:770px\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Reporting from the Qalandiya camp, Al Jazeera\u2019s Nida Ibrahim said an average of 50 raids have taken place daily across the West Bank in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen how they continue to intimidate people. They\u2019ve been seen assaulting young men; assaulting people who have nothing to do with the raid for no reason whatsoever.

According to online news magazine The Cradle, Israeli forces blocked several entrances leading to the camp.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz instructed the military to seize control of another refugee camp and replicate the military presence established in Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams. Human Rights Watch has warned that such actions could potentially amount to more acts of ethnic cleansing and war crimes carried out by Israel against Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/news\/2026\/8\/4\/who-is-behind-settler-violence-in-the-occupied-west-bank\">Settler violence<\/a> has also surged in the West Bank since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza nearly three years ago. Rights groups accuse the Israeli government of supporting such attacks, while far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have been barred from entering some European countries due to their actions, including what has been described as \u201cinciting violence\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ListenListen (3 mins) Save Click here to share on social media share-nodes Share facebookxwhatsapp-strokecopylink googleAdd Al Jazeera on Googleinfo Israeli forces patrol along a busy street during a military raid in the Qalandiya refugee camp, south of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, on August 5, 2026 [AFP] By Al Jazeera Staff Published On 5 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
