Israeli occupation forces carried out widespread invasions across the occupied West Bank on Thursday, breaking into homes, conducting extensive searches, abducting residents, assaulting civilians, and imposing movement restrictions in multiple districts.
The assaults targeted communities in the northern, northwestern, northeastern, central, and southern West Bank, as well as areas north of occupied Jerusalem, leaving families facing repeated violence, property destruction, and severe disruption to daily life.
Occupation forces continued their offensive in Qalandia refugee camp and the town of Kafr ‘Aqab, north of occupied Jerusalem, for a second consecutive day.
Soldiers invaded neighborhoods, broke into homes, searched properties, and abducted residents while deploying large numbers of troops and military vehicles. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported sixteen injuries since the beginning of the assault.
The army maintained control of the Popular Committee headquarters and the Jerusalem Governorate office inside the refugee camp. Soldiers continued operations in Qalandia and Kafr ‘Aqab and fired concussion grenades at journalists, forcing media crews away from the main entrance and preventing coverage.
In addition, the soldiers closed Jerusalem Street, which connects Kafr ‘Aqab to the refugee camp, and blocked the road from the Seekal area, preventing journalists from reaching the vicinity.
During the assault, soldiers fired concussion grenades inside the ‘Antar neighborhood of the refugee camp and released toxic gas near the Seekal junction.
Several young men were assaulted and abused after being abducted, while the army maintained heavy deployment at the camp entrance and the junction.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medics treated 48 Palestinians who were injured by Israeli forces during the invasions.

Late Wednesday night, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers invaded Khirbet at‑Tuba in Masafer Yatta, assaulted residents, and injured six Palestinians, including a woman and two children.
The colonizers also burned five homes and destroyed solar panels that supply electricity to the community.
In the village of Birin, east of Hebron, soldiers invaded the Wadi al‑A’war area and demolished a 100‑square‑meter home belonging to Hamza Ghaith.
In Ramallah, in the central West Bank, Israeli soldiers attacked and injured a Palestinian man during their invasion of the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah, and prevented Palestinian medics from reaching him.
In the northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted a child from the village of Tayasir, east of Tubas. The head of the Prisoners’ Society in Tubas, Kamal Bani ‘Odeh, said soldiers abducted Mohammad Imad Saad Daraghmeh, 17, after breaking into his family’s home.
Earlier in the day, the army invaded Tayasir, broke into several homes, and later withdrew toward the Tayasir military roadblock.
Later in the evening, occupation forces invaded the city of Tubas and the nearby town of ‘Aqqaba, deploying soldiers throughout both areas, obstructing movement, and firing concussion grenades at residents.
In the eastern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted three Palestinians from Jericho. The head of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society’s office in Jericho, Eid Barahma, said soldiers invaded the city and abducted Naseem Imad Zghab, Mohammad ‘Issa Shahadeh Farah, and Yasser Abu Sharar.
In the northern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted four Palestinians from the Nablus district, including a woman. Military vehicles invaded the villages of Tell and Surra, southwest of Nablus, and the villages of Beit Imrin and Burqa, northwest of Nablus.
Soldiers broke into homes, searched them, damaged property, and abducted Yazan Mundhir Turabi from Surra, Mohammad Iyad Fahmi Daghlas from Burqa, Ahmad Abdul‑Raouf Yameen from Tell, and Maysam Abdul‑Raouf Faqih from Beit Imrin.
In the northern West Bank city of Jenin, a 14‑year‑old child was shot with live fire during an Israeli military invasion of the city center.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medics treated a 14‑year‑old child who was shot in the lower back before transporting him to a hospital. Another resident was also hospitalized after soldiers assaulted him.
The PRCS added that occupation forces shot a young man near the Zayed Junction in Jenin, and its crews rushed him to a hospital in the northern West Bank city for treatment.
The army also closed the Zayed roundabout, detained several young men, and broke into commercial shops after deploying heavily in an area where colonizers claimed their vehicle had been struck by stones.
Soldiers later closed the roundabout again, detained additional young men, and broke into more shops, interrogating residents.
In the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the city of Qalqilia and the villages of ‘Azzun ‘Atma and Beit Amin.
Military vehicles invaded Qalqilia from the eastern main entrance, broke into a home belonging to the al‑Habbash family, and ransacked it.

The army also invaded the towns of Zeita, ‘Attil, and Baqa ash‑Sharqiya, where soldiers conducted foot patrols, searched homes, damaged property, and interrogated residents.
The widespread invasions, home break‑ins, abductions, assaults, and movement restrictions across the occupied West Bank reflect the ongoing escalation of Israeli military operations targeting Palestinian communities.
Residents across the occupied West Bank continue to face repeated violence, property destruction, and severe disruption to daily life as military and colonizer activity expands.
