Palestinian officials said troops tightened the cordon around Ramallah from early Tuesday, closing checkpoints and northern and western access roads, leaving thousands of Palestinians stranded at army crossings linking the city to surrounding villages.
A correspondent for Al Jazeera said Israeli soldiers fired tear gas and stun grenades to keep Palestinians away from the checkpoints.
Separately, Palestinian officials in occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds reported that two young Palestinians were wounded by Israeli fire late Monday near the separation barrier north of the city.
In Nablus, Tubas and Qabatiya, residents said Israeli Apache helicopters flew overhead and conducted multiple strikes, with the sound of gunfire echoing several times through the night.
In a related development, Palestinian sources in Qabatiya, south of Jenin, said Apache helicopters targeted the Jabal al-Zakarneh area with heavy munitions.
The Israeli military also imposed a full curfew on the town overnight until further notice.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces demolished a building in Jenin refugee camp, saying the destruction was part of a wider West Bank military campaign underway for more than a week.
Local sources in Qabatiya said troops had seized Palestinian homes and converted them into military posts, barring residents from returning for the time being.
Separately, as clashes escalated across the West Bank — including in Hebron (Al-Khalil), Ramallah, Nablus and Tubas — the Israeli army deployed additional reinforcements to Qabatiya and sealed its entrances.
Palestinian sources in the northern West Bank said that since the start of extensive Israeli raids on the Jenin, Nur Shams and Tulkarm camps on January 21, more than 32,000 Palestinians have been displaced.
In Tulkarm and its two refugee camps, along with Nur Shams, Palestinian sources reported that Israeli forces have continued raids, arrests, demolitions and settler attacks for the 310th consecutive day.
More than 5,000 families have been displaced from Tulkarm’s camps, with over 1,440 homes completely destroyed and another 2,573 severely damaged.
