Israeli forces ‘seize $2.5m’ from West Bank exchange shops

MONITORING (SW) – The Israeli occupation forces carried out a large-scale raid across the West Bank on Thursday overnight, killing a Palestinian man and seizing around $2.5 million from several Palestinian exchange shops in yet another escalation in the area, Al Jazeera reported.

The occupation forces have targeted Ramallah, Al-Bireh, Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus, Jericho, and Hebron in the West Bank, the network said.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent on the ground, Imran Khan, confirmed that Israeli forces “seized about $2.5m” from three exchange shops in Ramallah and two others in the West Bank.

Khan added that the Israeli forces “blew up the safe” of one of the exchange shops to seize the money.
