UPDATE: Israeli forces went from house to house on Friday in Nabi Saleh, searching through homes and firing stun grenades, injuring one person in his hand and reportedly damaging some property. A total of six demonstrators – Palestinian, Israeli and international – were arrested during the demonstration on Friday. They were all reportedly released on Friday evening.

The raid came during the weekly protest in Nabi Saleh, in which some 100 people participated. As demonstrators approached the village’s spring, which has been seized by the neighboring settlement of Halamish, the Israeli forces arrested at least five women, including Nariman Tamimi, a prominent activist from the village. Her arrest is pictured below. Her daughters are seen trying to intervene as Israeli soldiers detained their mother, but they were forcibly held back.

Correction: This report initially termed the Israeli army search raid on the village an arrest operation. Nabi Saleh residents were removed from their homes during the search, but none were ultimately arrested. (This does not include the six arrested during the protest.)
