QABATIYAH, Palestinian Territories, Dec 28, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Israeli forces imposed a lockdown on a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, their second day of operations there after a local resident killed two people in Israel. Bilal Hunaisha, a resident of Qabatiya, south of Jenin in the northern West Bank, said the town "is being subjected to collective punishment by the Israeli occupation". In the attack on Friday a 34-year-old Palestinian man killed two people in northern Israel. A few hours later, the Israeli army and the Shin Bet domestic security agency began operating in Qabatiya. During the same period, violence has also surged in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967.
