Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions, home break‑ins, abductions, and movement restrictions across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, targeting communities from Hebron in the south to Nablus and Jenin in the north, and imposing additional closures northwest of occupied Jerusalem.
In the northwestern area of occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces stormed the town of Beit Anan, broke into the home of 17‑year‑old Hamza Rani Ahmad Rabi’, and abducted him after searching the property. Local authorities confirmed that the child was taken following extensive and violent home invasions.
Also northwest of occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces shut the main Tunnel Road linking Al‑Jib and Biddu, closing the military gate at the entrance, and blocking movement to eight surrounding Palestinian villages. The closure caused a severe traffic jam and disrupted access for thousands of residents.
In the northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the town of Tammun, southeast of Tubas, at dawn and broke into several homes before abducting 16‑year‑old Ola Abdul‑Nasser Taleb Qteishat.
The director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society office in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odeh, said soldiers stormed the family home and took the girl after searching and ransacking the property.
In the southern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, broke into multiple homes, and abducted five residents, including four children.
Those taken were 72‑year‑old Youssef Hasan Ekhlayyel, Ribhi Mohammad Rabhi Awad (15), Mus’ab Safi Mohammad Al‑Sleibi (16), Ayham Mufid Mohammad Ikhleil (16), and Saleh Sa’id Saleh Zaqeeq (16).
The invasion followed a separate military incursion the previous evening in which a young man was shot with live ammunition; his condition was described as moderate.
Later in the day, Israeli forces invaded several neighborhoods in the city of Dura, south of Hebron, closing shops, detaining young men, and firing large quantities of toxic gas.
Several residents suffered gas inhalation injuries, and witnesses reported that soldiers assaulted detained youths during the invasion.
In the central West Bank, confrontations erupted on An‑Nahda Street in Ramallah after Israeli military patrols invaded the area and closed surrounding roads, disrupting movement in the city center.
In the northern West Bank, Israeli forces carried out coordinated invasions of several towns south of Nablus, including Beita, Jama’in, and Osarin, breaking into and searching multiple homes.
