On Monday, Israeli soldiers abducted at least sixteen Palestinians, including two children and former political prisoners, in several parts of the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) said the army invaded various governorates across the occupied West Bank before storming and ransacking dozens of homes and abducting at least sixteen.
The PPS added that the abductions were mainly focused in the governorates of Bethlehem, Hebron, Ramallah, Jericho, Jerusalem, and Qalqilia.
It also said that the soldiers carried out a massive invasion of Azzoun town, east of Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, where the army abducted a father and his son, in addition to detaining and interrogating dozens of residents and ransacked many homes.
Protests were also reported in many of the invaded areas across the occupied West Bank, especially in Bethlehem, Nablus, Jenin and Qalqilia, where the army also injured many Palestinians.
Israeli soldiers have abducted at least 8.725 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7, 2023; most of the abductees were taken from their homes and many on military roadblocks, in addition to those who surrendered to the army after the soldiers took members of their families’ hostage.
