Israeli occupation forces and illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out multiple assaults across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, including movement restrictions, home invasions, abductions, injuries, the destruction of agricultural lands, livestock theft, and the confiscation of vehicles.
In the southern West Bank, Israeli forces closed a main entrance to the town of Tuqu’, southeast of Bethlehem, after sealing the Khirbet ad‑Deir entrance with a metal gate.
Media sources said the closure blocked residents’ movement and restricted access to surrounding areas.
In occupied Jerusalem, a Palestinian youth was injured when Israeli forces invaded the town of al‑Qubeiba, northwest of the city.
Local sources reported that soldiers fired a gas canister directly at him, causing injuries that required medical treatment.
In the central West Bank district of Salfit, Israeli forces invaded the village of Rafat west of the city at dawn and abducted Hussein Hassan al‑Mashni after breaking into his home and ransacking its contents.
During the invasion, soldiers also broke into several other homes in the village, damaging property and leaving destruction inside.
In Ramallah, in the central West Bank, the soldiers abducted a young woman and seized three vehicles on Saturday afternoon during their invasion of the towns of Silwad and al-Mazra’a ash-Sharqiya, east of the city.
Local sources said the soldiers invaded Silwad with several military vehicles and seized two cars before withdrawing.
The sources added that the forces then moved toward nearby al-Mazra’a ash-Sharqiya, where they abducted a young woman—whose identity was not yet known—and seized another vehicle before withdrawing.
In the northern West Bank, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers destroyed agricultural crops in the al‑Mas’udiyya area northwest of Nablus.
Local land‑defense official Diab Hajji said colonizers released their livestock into cultivated fields, causing extensive damage to Palestinian crops.
He added that colonizer attacks in the area have intensified in recent weeks, targeting farmland and access roads.
The colonizers also invaded the town of Huwwara, south of Nablus, before attacking several homes and the Local Town Council building, in addition to stealing livestock.
Public Relations Officer of the Huwwara Municipality, Rana Abu Hanieh, stated that dozens Israeli colonizers invaded the municipality building and several homes in the town, and directly attacked them.
The attack also included smashing the windows of several Palestinian vehicles, stealing a car and a bicycle, and seizing approximately 35 sheep belonging to local residents. Medical sources confirmed that two Palestinians suffered concussion and multiple bruises as a result of the Israeli assault.
Furthermore, the illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers invaded the village of Einabus, south of Nablus, attacked homes and barns, and stole sheep.
These incidents come amid ongoing Israeli military invasions, movement restrictions, and colonizer violence across the occupied West Bank, affecting Palestinian communities from Hebron in the south to Jenin and Nablus in the north.
