Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions, abductions, and movement restrictions across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, targeting communities in Salfit in the central West Bank, Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, Ramallah in the central West Bank, Nablus in the northern West Bank, and occupied Jerusalem.
Local sources reported that Israeli forces abducted several young men in the Wadi Qana area near the town of Deir Istiya in the central West Bank district of Salfit.
The men, who were from towns and villages in Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, were collecting desert truffles when soldiers invaded the area, detained them, and later abducted them without explanation.
In the central West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the village of Dura al‑Qare‘ north of Ramallah, spreading through several neighborhoods without reporting any abductions or break‑ins.
Similar invasions were carried out in the village of Beitin, east of Ramallah, and in the city of al-Bireh, where military units moved through the al-Jinan neighborhood and Jabal al-Tawil.
Israeli forces also invaded the village of Nabi Saleh northwest of Ramallah, where soldiers broke into several commercial shops and inspected private security cameras.
Earlier in the day, Israeli forces invaded the village of al‑Mughayyer east of Ramallah and abducted resident Nash’at Faheem Nassar after breaking into his home and ransacking its contents.
Nassar is the father of Amjad Nassar, who was killed by Israeli forces on July 29, 2022. During the invasion, soldiers fired live ammunition, rubber‑coated metal bullets, and tear‑gas canisters toward residents and homes, though no injuries were reported.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces closed the main entrances to the town of Hizma northeast of the city.
Soldiers shut the two iron gates installed at the town’s access points, set up military roadblocks, and prevented vehicles from moving in either direction, causing significant traffic congestion.
In the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the town of Sebastia northwest of Nablus. Mohammad Azem, the head of the Sebastia municipal council, stated that several military vehicles invaded the town before the soldiers delivered a demolition notice ordering a resident to remove barbed wire surrounding his land in the northwestern area of the village.
In related news, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers driving a vehicle with Palestinian license plates infiltrated the village of Deir Dajan east of Nablus and attempted to attack a Palestinian father and his child while they were driving on the main road, before residents noticed them and forced them to flee.
