Palestinians have held protests across the West Bank, accusing Mahmoud Abbas and his leadership of “disrespecting the sacrifices made by the Palestinian people.”

The IDF, in overnight operations in the West Bank, also detained multiple suspects involved in terrorism-related activities, including the planning of a terror attack.
