Israeli forces raided the homes of Abdul Fattah Hussein Awad and his son Sameh in the village of Far'un, south of Tulkarem, on Tuesday and ordered both families to leave, local sources told WAFA.

The families were told they would not be allowed back until Wednesday morning, after the houses had been converted into temporary military posts. Troops were also deployed near the separation wall, between homes and close to the village girls' school.

In the nearby suburb of Irtah, soldiers patrolled the streets, took up positions on Old Mosque Street and warned residents away from the areas where they were stationed, according to the same sources. No arrests or injuries were reported.
