Israeli forces carried out a series of invasions, abductions, assaults, and movement restrictions across multiple areas of the occupied West Bank on Tuesday evening and at night, including Hebron in the southern West Bank, occupied Jerusalem, Salfit in the central West Bank, Ramallah in the central West Bank, Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, and Nablus in the northern West Bank.
Israeli forces invaded Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, where they abducted 14‑year‑old Mohammad Ahmad Fawzi Awad after breaking into his grandfather’s home and assaulting the family.
Local activist Mohammad Awad said several residents suffered from tear‑gas inhalation after soldiers fired gas canisters at civilians and their vehicles in the town center. Troops also forced shop owners to close their stores.

At the Karama Crossing with Jordan (King Hussein Bridge), Israeli forces abducted two Jerusalem residents—Sbeih Abu Sbeih and Mahmoud al‑Taryaqi—while they were traveling to perform Umrah in Mecca.
Attorney Mohammad Mahmoud from the Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan said the two were detained at the crossing and transferred to an interrogation facility in occupied Jerusalem.
Also in occupied Jerusalem, attorney Firas Jibrini reported that Jerusalem resident Yazan Nader Odah was hospitalized after Israeli forces assaulted him during his abduction from the Silwan neighborhood south of Al‑Aqsa Mosque.

Jibrini said soldiers intercepted him on his way home in the al‑Bustan area, beat him severely, and caused head and back injuries, bruises, and cuts.
South of Hebron, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers from the Eschar Man outpost attacked Palestinian shepherds from the ‘Elian Awad family in the Wadi Abu Shaban area of Masafer Yatta.
Media activist Osama Makhamra said colonizers fired live rounds toward the shepherds. Israeli forces then invaded the area, fired tear‑gas canisters at residents tending their livestock, assaulted Sief Tawfiq Awad and Moath Sa’id Awad, and abducted both men.
In al‑Mughayyer, northeast of Ramallah, armed colonizers attacked the western entrance of the village and beat Amer Fadl Abu ‘Alia, attempting to abduct him.
Israeli forces then invaded the area, assaulted him again, and abducted him. Village council head Amin Abu ‘Alia said colonizers fired live rounds at residents who tried to help, while soldiers fired both live ammunition and tear‑gas canisters at civilians.
In Bethlehem, Israeli forces invaded the al‑Fawaghra neighborhood in the center of the city and abducted a young man, Ahmad Suman.
In Tuqu’, southeast of Bethlehem, the soldiers invaded the town and abducted a young man, Ahmad Osama Sabah.
In Nablus, Israeli forces invaded the town of Sebastia, northwest of the city, stormed homes, and abducted Yasser Maher Shadid.

In related news, several Israeli military vehicles invaded Aqqaba town, north of Tubas in northeastern West Bank.
These incidents reflect a broad pattern of escalating invasions, colonizer violence, and movement restrictions across multiple districts of the occupied West Bank, further intensifying pressure on Palestinian communities already facing daily military actions, land seizures, and threats of displacement.
It is worth mentioning that the soldiers carried out sweeping invasions across multiple areas of the occupied West Bank overnight and into Tuesday morning, abducting dozens of Palestinians in coordinated attacks, including by illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers.
