Israeli forces have stormed the town of Aroura in the occupied West Bank, surrounding the family home of Saleh al-Arouri, deputy head of the political bureau of Hamas, before blowing it up, sources told Al Jazeera.

Al-Arouri is considered one of the main masterminds of the October 7 attack.

This is more of a symbolic move by the Israelis than anything else. Israeli forces are after al-Arouri. He has been on Israel's most-wanted list for a long time.

It was unclear if there were any casualties from the raid on Aroura.

Israeli forces also stormed the Aida, al-Azza and Dheisheh refugee camps, further expanding their raid early on Tuesday to several other areas in the occupied West Bank
