Videos circulating on social media, allegedly taken earlier today, show Israeli forces operating in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
One clip appears to depict soldiers raiding a local currency exchange office, while others show military vehicles and troops moving through the city streets.
While the IDF has maintained a strong presence throughout the West Bank since the outbreak of the ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza, it is uncommon for the military to operate inside Ramallah, the administrative center of the Palestinian Authority.
The IDF has not yet commented on the reports.
