Israeli occupiers cut power to West Bank town as army arrests 5 Palestinians

Israeli occupiers on Sunday cut electricity to a Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank by attacking power infrastructure, while the Israeli army arrested five Palestinians during raids across several areas.

Official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that a group of occupiers attacked Madama in the northern West Bank, near the city of Nablus, cutting and damaging electricity poles, causing power outages in the northern part of the town.

In a separate incident, Israeli forces arrested two Palestinians after raiding eastern Nablus and searching their homes, Wafa said.

Israeli forces also raided the nearby town of Tel, southwest of Nablus, searching several homes without making any arrests, according to the agency.

Further south, Israeli forces arrested three young Palestinians from the Dheisheh refugee camp, south of Bethlehem, after raiding and searching their family homes.
