The IDF raided dozens of homes in the Palestinian village of Al-Mughayyir in the central West Bank last night, leaving many of them completely ransacked and seemingly placing a sticker that reads “I stand with Israel” on at least one of them, the Yesh Din rights group says.

The IDF says its raids are for counter-terror purposes but has not immediately responded to a query regarding the conduct of troops on this particular operation.

“Words cannot describe the humiliation and frustration of these men, women and children whose homes were targeted,” Yesh Din says.
