Israeli occupation forces abducted several Palestinians on Monday during multiple invasions across the occupied West Bank, including Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, occupied Jerusalem, Hebron in the southern West Bank, Nablus and Jenin in the northern West Bank, and Ramallah in the central West Bank.
In Bethlehem, soldiers invaded the city of Beit Sahour and broke into the home of the family of 33‑year‑old Mike Kareem Saad before abducting him. Media sources said the soldiers violently searched the property and interrogated family members during the invasion.
The army also invaded the towns of Al‑Khader, Dar Salah, Za’atara, Beit Fajjar, and Abu Njeim, though no additional abductions were reported.
Later, Israeli forces installed a military roadblock at the entrance to Jouret ash‑Sham’a, south of Bethlehem, stopping Palestinian vehicles, searching them, and inspecting identity cards, which caused heavy traffic congestion in the area.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces invaded the town of Kafr Aqab, north of the city, with additional military reinforcements. During the invasion, undercover soldiers intercepted a Palestinian vehicle and abducted the driver, whose identity had not yet been confirmed. In addition, the soldiers invaded the town of Hizma, east of Jerusalem, and conducted searches before withdrawing.
In Hebron in the southern West Bank, the soldiers abducted two Palestinians after breaking into their homes, searching them, and ransacking their contents. The army invaded the town of Ethna, west of Hebron, and abducted Ra’fat Ahmad Mahmoud Abu Jheisha. In the town of Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron, soldiers assaulted and abducted Bashar Idrees Mitwer after beating and interrogating him in the street. The army also installed several military roadblocks at the entrances to Hebron’s towns, villages, and refugee camps, and closed multiple main and secondary roads with iron gates, concrete blocks, and earth mounds.
In Nablus in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the Ein Beit al‑Maa’ refugee camp west of the city, broke into several homes, searched them, and abducted seven Palestinians, including a woman. Local sources identified them as Saber Khalil Abu Daoud, Hassan Abu Daoud, Salim Jibril, Sameh Jibreel, Ayham al‑Asadi, Abeer al‑Asadi, and Mohammad Amin al‑Asadi. The army also invaded Asira Street in Nablus, broke into a home, searched it, and abducted Majdi Mabrouk.
In Jenin in the northern West Bank, the soldiers invaded several neighborhoods in the city, stormed homes, and abducted a young man, Ala’ Abu Hatab.
In Ramallah in the central West Bank, several Israeli military vehicles invaded Ni’lin town and abducted the head of the Local Town Council, Emad al‑Khawaja. The soldiers also abducted a young man from his home in Beitin village, northeast of Ramallah, after storming the property, in addition to invading several neighborhoods in al‑Bireh city.
These invasions and abductions are part of the ongoing escalation by Israeli forces across the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians continue to face intensified military operations, home invasions, movement restrictions, and widespread violations targeting civilians and their property.
