Israeli occupation forces carried out largescale invasions, home break-ins, and abductions across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, targeting communities in Ramallah, Salfit, Tulkarem, Jenin, Nablus, Hebron, and occupied Jerusalem, while also tightening military restrictions at a major military roadblock northeast of the city.
Israeli occupation forces invaded the town of Aqqaba, north of Tubas in the northeastern occupied West Bank, and abducted five Palestinian citizens.
The director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odah, said the abducted individuals include the recently released political prisoner Bakr Abdul‑Razzaq, who had been freed only days earlier from Israeli prisons.
The other abducted residents were identified as Nizar Walid Abu ‘Arra, Mustafa Sayel Abu ‘Arra, Mohammad Walid Salama, and Bakr al‑Masri.
Local sources reported that several Israeli military patrols invaded the town, fired concussion grenades, and broke into a number of homes, searching them and interrogating residents before withdrawing.
In the central West Bank, Israeli soldiers invaded the village of Deir Ibzi’, west of Ramallah, and broke into the home of a local family before abducting the 15‑year‑old child Zahran at‑Tawil.
Local sources reported that the soldiers searched the property extensively and interrogated the family during the invasion.
In the central West Bank district of Salfit, occupation forces invaded the town of Bruqin, west of the city, broke into the home of Mohammad Hatem Sabra, and abducted him after searching the property and damaging its contents.

In the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the Ektaba Suburb east of Tulkarem and abducted the former prisoner Amir Kifah Fahmawi after breaking into his home and searching it.
In the northern West Bank, Israeli soldiers invaded the town of Silat ath‑Thaher, south of Jenin, and stormed the local secondary school on foot, removing the Palestinian flag from the premises.
The Ministry of Education described the invasion of Silat ath‑Thaher Secondary School as a dangerous escalation that threatens the safety of students and staff and constitutes a blatant violation of the right to education.
Local sources added that an Apache helicopter landed earlier in the morning inside the rebuilt illegal colony of “Tarsala.”

In the southern West Bank, soldiers abducted a young man from the city of Dura, south of Hebron, after invading the area.
In the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces also invaded the village of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilia, though no abductions were reported at the time of writing.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces intensified military measures at the Jaba’ military roadblock northeast of the city, causing severe traffic congestion and obstructing the movement of Palestinian residents.
