Daily raids in occupied West Bank conducted to make life ‘miserable’

The large-scale campaign of Israeli arrests in the occupied West Bank since October 7, 2023 is part of a concerted effort to destabilise Palestinian communities and push young people out of the territory, analyst Amjad Abu el-Ezz has told Al Jazeera.

“This is a policy being conducted by the Israeli occupation power under justifications like October 7,” said Abu el-Ezz, a professor at the Arab American University in Ramallah.

“But the truth behind this policy is to create fear, to make our life in the West Bank miserable and difficult, and to push the Palestinian youth to leave the land and become immigrants in Europe or elsewhere.”

Moreover, he added that Israeli soldiers are conducting daily raids, arresting young people even in towns and villages that have seen no unrest.

“Why is this policy being conducted when some towns and villages don’t have any problems, don’t have any activities, but they’re still being targeted?” he questioned.
