Israeli occupation forces abducted 24-year-old Mohammad Abu Shamsiya on Tuesday outside his family home in Tel Rumeida, central Hebron, in the occupied West Bank’s southern part, amid a military-imposed curfew targeting several Palestinian neighborhoods. At Least 16 Palestinians abducted across West Bank.
His father, Emad Abu Shamsiya, told WAFA News Agency that the family remains trapped inside their home, with soldiers citing celebrations by Israeli colonizers as justification.
The curfew coincides with festivities by Israeli colonizers from the Ramat Yishai illegal colonialist outpost, built on stolen Palestinian land in Tel Rumeida.
Additional curfews were enforced on Jaber, Salayma, Gheith, and Wadi al-Hussein, all are neighborhoods adjacent to the Kiryat Arba colony, under the pretext of holiday observances.
Early Tuesday, Israeli soldiers invaded Beit Ummar town, north of Hebron, and abducted four Palestinians after storming and searching several homes in the Safa area.
In addition, the soldiers invaded multiple areas across Ramallah and al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank’s central part early Tuesday, abducting at least eleven Palestinians and converting a mosque into a field interrogation site.
Furthermore, Israeli occupation forces, and illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers, uprooted 150 olive trees in the village of Um al-Khair, located in Masafer Yatta south of Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
As of October 2025, Israel is holding over 21,000 Palestinians in prisons, military camps, and interrogation centers. This figure includes both sentenced prisoners and those held without charge under administrative detention.
Among them are more than 570 women, many of whom were abducted since October 7, 2023. At least 25 women are currently held under administrative detention, including lawyers, journalists, and a nursing mother.
Approximately 300 Palestinian children under the age of 18 are imprisoned, including 94 held in Megiddo Prison and 40 under administrative detention. At least 24 of the detained children are from Gaza. Since October 7, Israeli forces have abducted around 760 children in total.
From Gaza alone, at least 1,886 Palestinians are currently held as “unlawful combatants,” with their legal status and locations undisclosed. Thousands more are detained in military camps under conditions of enforced disappearance, without access to legal counsel or family contact.
Since the start of the genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, Israel has issued over 10,000 administrative detention orders, including renewals targeting children and women. Human rights organizations have documented widespread use of torture, denial of legal rights, and the suspension of Red Cross visits.
