Israeli occupation forces and illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers escalated coordinated attacks across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, carrying out invasions, abductions, home break‑ins, road closures, and assaults on Palestinian communities from Hebron in the south to Tubas in the northeast, Ramallah and Salfit in the center, and Nablus and Tulkarem in the north.
Systematic Abductions and Home Invasions in the Hebron District
In the southern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted eight Palestinians from the town of Dura and the nearby villages of Abda and Emriesh in the Hebron district.
Troops invaded the communities at dawn, broke into multiple homes, and abducted Mohammad Maher al‑Wahwah, Salim Misbah al‑Namoura, Adam Fadi Dudin, Nassim Mohammad Shahin, Lutfi Shahin, Radi ad‑Darabea’, Thaer Azmi ad‑ Darabea’, and Jihad Ali Shahin.
Simultaneously, Israeli forces tightened restrictions across the district, installing military roadblocks at the entrances of towns, villages, and refugee camps.
The army sealed road with iron gates, concrete blocks, and earth mounds. A curfew was imposed on the Jaber, Salayma, and Wadi al‑Hussein neighborhoods of Hebron city under the pretext of securing the movement of colonizers from the settlement of Kiryat Arba toward the Ibrahimi Mosque.
Jordan Valley: Abductions and Assaults Following Colonizer Violence
In the northern Jordan Valley, Israeli forces invaded the al‑Maleh area and abducted four Palestinians from the Daraghma family, including two women.
The invasion followed an earlier attack in which Israeli colonizers assaulted members of the family and beat a child. Witnesses reported that Israeli forces and colonizers blocked an ambulance from reaching the injured child.
Colonizer violence continued throughout the day, with groups of colonizers invading the al‑Maleh community and assaulting residents.
Emergency services in Tubas in the northeastern West Bank confirmed receiving reports of injuries.
Central West Bank: Road Closures and Colonizer Attacks Near Ramallah
In the central West Bank, colonizers attacked Palestinian vehicles near the entrance to the town of Bil’in west of Ramallah.
Local sources said colonizers targeted cars on the main road, though no injuries were reported.
Israeli forces simultaneously shut down movement across the region, closing the main gate at the entrance to Ni’lin and sealing the road to Khirbet Bani Harith.
The Atara military roadblock—one of the main passages linking northern and central West Bank districts—was closed from early morning, causing severe disruption for thousands of residents.
A recent report by the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission documented 916 permanent and temporary military barriers across the occupied West Bank, including 243 iron gates installed after October 7, 2023, underscoring the scale of movement restrictions.
Nablus Area: Refugee Camps Invaded, Homes Broken Into
Before dawn, Israeli forces invaded the al‑Ein refugee camp west of Nablus and the New Askar refugee camp east of the city.
Troops spread through the narrow alleys of both refugee camps, broke into several homes, and searched them. No abductions were reported.
Later in the day, a Palestinian municipal employee, Raddad Nasser, was injured when colonizers assaulted him in the lands of Khirbet Yanun, part of the town of Aqraba south of Nablus.
A Coordinated Pattern of Military and Colonizer Escalation
The day’s events reflect a broader pattern of coordinated escalation across the occupied West Bank.
According to the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission, Israeli forces and colonizers carried out 2,144 attacks in November alone, concentrated in Ramallah and al‑Bireh, Hebron, Bethlehem, and Nablus.
The combined use of military invasions, abductions, colonizer assaults, road closures, and infrastructure disruption points to a tightening system of control across Palestinian towns, villages, and refugee camps.
Residents and local journalists describe a landscape of expanding military presence, shrinking mobility, and rising colonizers’ violations—conditions that have become near‑daily realities across the occupied West Bank.
