BETHLEHEM: Israeli occupation forces Tuesday stormed the village of Marah Rabah, south of Bethlehem, and raided several homes.

The head of the Marah Village Council, Rabah Hussein Al-Sheikh, said that an occupation army force stormed the village and broke into a number of citizens’ homes.

He added that the occupation soldiers closed the roads inside the village and stormed the school and kindergarten area.

Sheikh indicated that he contacted school principals to keep students inside the classrooms, due to the random shooting of live bullets by Israeli forces.

He stated that the entrances to the village have been completely closed with an iron gate and dirt blocks since October 7, adding that the occupation is also deliberately cutting off the main water line feeding the village.
