Earlier on Thursday, Israeli forces raided the town of Idhna west of Hebron (Al-Khalil) and stormed the home of a recently released prisoner.
Israeli occupation forces vandalized the place where the family had gathered to receive well-wishers celebrating his release and forced everyone to leave.
Tensions have been high across the West Bank since Israel launched a deadly military offensive against the Gaza Strip on October 7.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, at least 543 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 5,200 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory.
