Israeli forces abducted several Palestinians across the occupied West Bank on Monday, injured several Palestinians near Ramallah, while illegal paramilitary colonizers released livestock onto Palestinian farmland in Masafer Yatta, Hebron in the southern West Bank, causing damage to crops.
Anti-colonization activist Osama Makhamra said illegal paramilitary colonizers from outposts established on private Palestinian land in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, released their livestock into cultivated fields in the areas of Rojoum A’li and Khallet Amayra, damaging crops.
Makhamra added that colonizers from the Susiya colony also released a herd of cattle onto Palestinian land in the Tal Ma‘in area of Yatta.
Following confrontations between the invading colonizers and local farmers in Masafer Yatta, Israeli forces abducted a young man identified as Mohammad ‘Ayyad Morr from the Mneizeil area of Masafer Yatta.
In the city of Hebron, Israeli forces abducted a man identified as Saleh Emad Abu Shamsiya while he stood outside his family home in the Tel Romeida neighborhood, and transferred him to an undisclosed location, the family reported.
Near the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah in the central West Bank, two Palestinians were shot and wounded by Israeli forces on Monday evening.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said Israeli forces prevented its teams from reaching the wounded near the Sinjil junction, and local sources reported that the army was holding the injured and preventing residents and Palestinian medical crews from approaching the scene.
Local accounts said a large Israeli force subsequently invaded the town of Sinjil and broke into homes and commercial premises.
The soldiers also shot a young man, Fathi Ali Sahouri, from Sinjil town, while he was near the main entrance to Turmus Ayya town, north of Ramallah.
Separately, Israeli forces abducted three Palestinians in invasions across Ramallah and al-Bireh governorate.
Local sources identified the detainees as Mahmoud Nidal Aqla, 18, from the town of ‘Abwein, Ali Karam al-Rimawi from the town of Beit Rima, and Muhammad Atiya Kanaan from the Ein Munjed area. Residents said their homes were searched and ransacked prior to their abduction.
Earlier Monday, Israeli forces invaded multiple towns in the West Bank, carrying out widespread searches, breaking into homes across the Tulkarem governorate in the northwestern West Bank, and abducting four Palestinians.
