On Thursday, Israeli forces abducted more than 15 Palestinian citizens, including two brothers and former political prisoners, and injured school children in various parts of the occupied West Bank.
The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Prisoners’ Society reported that the abductions were distributed across the governorates of Ramallah, Hebron, Jenin, Nablus, and Tubas.
They added that the soldiers stormed and ransacked dozens of homes, assaulted many Palestinians, and threatened to harm the abductees and their families.
In related news, the soldiers invaded Al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem, and fired gas bombs, causing many Palestinians to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
Israeli forces also assaulted students in the town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, in the West Bank. Media sources said the soldiers, stationed in the Tal area in Al-Khader’s Old City, fired shots into the air and used toxic gas and sound bombs towards the students as they were leaving their schools after the school day ended, without any reported injuries.
They added that Israeli forces chased the students in several neighborhoods and on the main road, noting that the soldiers have been present around Al-Khader schools since the morning.
It is worth mentioning that students in Al-Khader schools face repeated harassments from Israeli forces, aiming to disrupt the educational process, as the school complex is located next to the colonial bypass road #60 and the illegal Annexation Wall.
On Thursday evening, Israeli soldiers assaulted and injured four Palestinians after stopping them at military roadblocks at the entrance of Jericho, in the occupied West Bank’s northeastern part.
In related news, the Israeli army assassinated eighteen citizens and injured more than twenty, including children and elders, in an airstrike on a popular café in Tulkarem refugee camp, in Tulkarem city, in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.
The soldiers also shot and killed a Palestinian young man, after an alleged stabbing attempt at a military roadblock, in the southern West Bank city of Hebron.
