Israeli occupation forces launched a series of invasions across the occupied West Bank early Tuesday, targeting residential areas, refugee camps, and key roads with intensified military presence and the abduction dozens of civilians, including one woman.
In occupied Jerusalem, several military vehicles invaded Qatanna town, northwest of the city, searched homes and abducted a young man, Moath Taha.
In the early hours of this morning, Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of ‘Anin, located west of Jenin in the northern West Bank, in an invasion marked by aggressive house searches and physical assaults.
Local sources reported that Israeli troops invaded the town before dawn, storming several homes. The searches were described as violent and destructive, with soldiers ransacking property and damaging household contents.
Witnesses also confirmed that a number of young men were detained in the streets during the incursion. The detainees were subjected to severe beatings before being released or transferred.
In Nablus, located in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the village of Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya and the Al-Ein refugee camp.
Troops stormed a residential building in Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, erected a military roadblock at the village’s only entrance and exit, and subjected passing vehicles and pedestrians to searches and identity checks.
In the city of Nablus itself, forces invaded the Al-Ein refugee camp, broke into several homes, vandalized their contents, and withdrew shortly afterward.
Also in Nablus, Israeli occupation forces have continued their invasion of the village of Madama, south of the city, for over 13 consecutive hours.
Abdullah Ziyada, the head of the village council, stated that the invasion began at 8 p.m. Monday evening.
Troops converted three residential buildings into military barracks and forcibly evacuated five families residing in them, ordering them to remain out of their homes for 24 hours.
Ziyada added that Israeli forces compelled shop owners to close their businesses, installed three military roadblocks at the village entrances, and barred all entry and exit.
Large numbers of foot soldiers have been deployed throughout the village’s neighborhoods, setting up internal roadblocks, conducting searches of residents, and preventing them from leaving their homes.
In the central West Bank, Israeli forces abducted former prisoner Hanan Barghouthi from the town of Kobar, northwest of Ramallah. Troops stormed her home, conducted a search, and abducted her.
It is worth noting that in December of last year, the Israeli army released Barghouthi after holding her under arbitrary administrative detention orders—without charge or trial—for nine months.
Further north, in the Tulkarem area, four young men were abducted during pre-dawn invasions. Local sources identified them as Jihad Emad Sheikh Yousef Na’alwa from Shweika, and Jad Mohammad Zeer, Majd Al-Rasmi, and Tamer Harsha from the town of Qaffin. All were taken after their homes were stormed and ransacked.
In the southern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the town of Nuba, northwest of Hebron, and abducted Mahmoud Mohammad Al-Shrouf after ransacking his home. The military also imposed a curfew on the neighborhoods of Jaber, Salayma, and Wadi Al-Hussein in eastern Hebron, citing religious festivities as justification.
Separately, troops invaded the home of Monqith Abu Atwan, director of the Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, in the village of At-Tabaqa south of Hebron, causing extensive damage to its contents.
Military roadblocks were also erected at the entrances to Hebron’s towns, villages, and refugee camps, with several main and secondary roads sealed off using iron gates, concrete blocks, and earth mounds.
In Salfit, located in the central West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the town of Bruqin from its western gate, accompanied by three military bulldozers, and initiated searches.
The soldiers also invaded Tubas city, in the northeastern West Bank, and fired many live rounds, gas bombs and concussion grenades.
East of Bethlehem, two additional military roadblocks were set up. Local sources reported that the Container roadblock—which connects the northern and southern West Bank—was completely shut down, causing severe traffic congestion as vehicles were searched and IDs examined, while soldiers interrogated scores of Palestinians. Another roadblock was installed between the towns of Tuqu’ and Jannatah, further disrupting civilian movement.
According to a September 2025 report by the Wall and Colonization Resistance Commission, the total number of military roadblocks and iron gates installed by Israeli forces across the West Bank has reached 910. Of these, 83 gates were added since the beginning of 2025, and 247 have been installed since October 7, 2023.
