Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions across several West Bank towns on Wednesday, firing toxic tear gas into residential areas, causing dozens of suffocation injuries, and abducting two brothers from the Jenin district.
In al‑Mughayyer, northeast of Ramallah, Israeli forces invaded the town and fired large quantities of toxic tear gas toward homes and residential neighborhoods.
Witnesses said the gas spread quickly between houses and along internal roads, leading to widespread suffocation, particularly among children and the elderly.
Local sources reported that soldiers deployed through several neighborhoods, heightening fear among residents as gas filled the streets.
The invasion is part of a pattern of continuous violations targeting the town, including repeated incursions, the firing of gas and live ammunition, and attacks by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers.
Later in the evening, Israeli forces invaded al‑Yamun, west of Jenin, and abducted two brothers, Ahmad and Abdel‑Hadi Nasser Abahra, after storming their homes. The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society confirmed the abductions.

Israeli forces also invaded Silat al‑Harithiya, west of Jenin, where they stormed several homes and detained a number of residents for field interrogation before withdrawing.
In Beit Liqya, west of Ramallah, Israeli forces carried out another invasion, spreading through several neighborhoods and surrounding a number of homes. No injuries or abductions were reported.

These invasions come amid a broader escalation of Israeli military actions and colonizer violence across the occupied West Bank, where communities continue to face near‑daily incursions, home break‑ins, abductions, and attacks on civilians and property.
Early on Wednesday, Israeli soldiers carried out a series of invasions across the West Bank, breaking into homes, abducting many Palestinians, and damaging property in multiple towns, villages, and refugee camps from the northern districts to the southern Hebron area.
