Israeli occupation forces carried out widespread invasions across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, storming towns, villages, and refugee camps from Tubas in the northeast to Hebron in the south. Troops broke into homes, destroyed property, and abducted numerous Palestinians, including children and people with disabilities.
In the northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the town of Tammun south of Tubas, deploying several military patrols throughout residential neighborhoods. Soldiers broke into multiple homes, though no abductions were reported.
In nearby Yarza, east of Tubas, Israeli bulldozers demolished a 60‑square‑meter agricultural structure belonging to Sa’id Ahmad Saeed, claiming it was built without a permit.
Locals said Israeli forces destroyed the last remaining water line serving the Ras al‑Ahmar area and the al‑Baqi’a plain in the northern Jordan Valley.
Israeli forces detained five Palestinians in the Bethlehem district, according to the report. Those detained were identified as Mohammad Wahida Shatta, Mohammad Fadi al‑Afandi and Yazan Mohammad Qdeih from the Dheisheh refugee camp, south of Bethlehem; Ali Ismail Ghayatha from Nahalin, west of Bethlehem; and Qasem Abu Srour from the Aida refugee camp, north of the city.
Troops also invaded al‑Khader, Tuqu’, al‑Ubeidiya, Dar Salah, al‑Shawawra, Za’tara, and al‑Jab’a, though no abductions were reported in those locations.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces abducted a child, Jaafar al‑Bashiti, after breaking into and searching his family’s home in the Old City.
In the southern West Bank, Israeli troops invaded the al‑Arroub refugee camp north of Hebron and abducted a young man, Nassim at‑Titi, after breaking into his home. The invasion triggered protests, during which Israeli forces fired live rounds. Additional protests were reported in several areas of the Hebron district.
Also in Hebron, Israeli forces abducted three workers from the Old City Reconstruction Committee in the southern occupied West Bank and detained Hebron Mayor Yousef al‑Jabari while he and municipal engineers were inspecting ongoing projects in the Jaber neighborhood.
Gheith Gaith, director of public relations at the Hebron Municipality, said Israeli forces stopped the mayor and several engineers as they were overseeing a street rehabilitation project near the neighborhood. Troops held them for a period before releasing them.
Furthermore, the soldiers prevented Palestinians from reaching their homes in the Old City after the army closed stores and several streets.
In a related incident, activist Aref Jaber said Israeli forces abducted three workers from the Old City Reconstruction Committee and detained the technical team working on rehabilitating water wells in the Jaber neighborhood. The abducted workers were identified as Abdel‑Hay Shahadeh, Shaker Marwan Abu Sunaina, and Islam Abu Sunaina.
Residents of Jaber neighborhood and the Old City said these actions are part of an ongoing campaign to impose restrictions, halt reconstruction projects, and pressure Palestinian families to leave the area.
They noted that Israeli forces regularly obstruct municipal work, block services, and target infrastructure as part of efforts to forcibly displace residents and expand illegal Israeli colonies.

In the central West Bank, Israeli forces abducted a 16‑year‑old child with disabilities, Ahmad Thaer Atta al‑Hajj, after breaking into his family’s home in Beit Sira west of Ramallah.
Troops also invaded homes in Deir Qaddis west of Ramallah and in al‑Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah, where confrontations erupted and Israeli forces fired tear‑gas canisters at residents.
In the northern West Bank, six Palestinians, including two children, were injured when Israeli forces invaded the town of Burqa northwest of Nablus at dawn.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Nablus said its crews treated six people who had been assaulted by Israeli soldiers. According to the organization, troops entered and searched several homes and assaulted residents, causing bruises and other injuries.
Israeli forces also invaded Nablus from the Deir Sharaf military roadblock west of the city, moving toward the al‑Junayd area before heading to Rafidia.
Protests erupted in Beita south of Nablus and in Iraq Burin south of the city, where Israeli forces abducted two young men.
In the village of Tell southwest of Nablus, troops obstructed journalists covering the invasion, broke into a home, and turned it into a military post. Forces also invaded the village of Awarta southeast of Nablus.
In the northern West Bank city of Jenin, Israeli forces abducted eleven Palestinians during a large‑scale invasion targeting several neighborhoods, towns, and villages.
The abducted included Abdullah Sidqi Zakarna, Ahmad Abu Shammala, Bara’ Wajdi Hathnawi, Mohammad Abdullah Breiki, Ahmad Hossam Abu Tabeekh, Ahmad ash‑Shakhshir, and Mohammad Abdul‑Rahim.
In Kufeirat west of Jenin, troops abducted former prisoner Yousef Arafat Ighbariyya only ten days after his release following 28 months in Israeli prisons. Soldiers also abducted Ayman Mohammad Awwad after breaking into his home.
In Kafr Qud west of Jenin, Israeli forces abducted Mundhir Firas Ghanem, while in Ya’bad southwest of the city, troops abducted Amer Bashar Abu Shamlah after breaking into and damaging his family’s home.
Israeli forces also held and interrogated numerous young men in Umm al‑Tutt southeast of Jenin, assaulting several of them. The invasions came amid ongoing daily Israeli incursions into Jenin and surrounding villages, marked by home invasions, interrogations, and widespread detentions.
In the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded Qalqilia from its eastern entrance, deployed in the Kafr Saba neighborhood, and abducted two Palestinians—Ubada Imad Abu Khdeija and Anis Sweilem—after breaking into and searching their homes.
These are some of the documented and verified Israeli military invasions and violations reported today.
Due to the intensity and ongoing nature of these attacks, additional incidents may go underreported or unreported, especially in areas where journalists and field teams are unable to safely reach affected communities.
