Israeli occupation forces invaded multiple towns across the occupied West Bank early Sunday, storming homes, abducting civilians, and enabling attacks by illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers under military protection.
In Bethlehem, Israeli troops broke into the home of 40-year-old Yousef Mohammad Saadi Adawi, searched it, and abducted him.
The soldiers also stormed the towns of Beit Sahour, Za’tara, al-Obeidiyya, Dar Salah, and al-Shawawra, though no further home raids or abductions were reported.
In Hebron, in the southern West Bank, several military vehicles invaded Sa’ir town, east of the city, searched homes and abducted a young man, Haitham Shalalda.
The soldiers also invaded Ethna town, west of Hebron, and assaulted a Palestinian man while searching his car, causing various cuts and bruises.
In Nablus, located in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces invaded several neighborhoods, broke into homes, vandalized property, and abducted four residents.
Among those taken were Anwar Fathi Manni from al-Ma’ajeen and Mohammad Ayman Abu Seer from the northern hill area. The soldiers also stormed Balata refugee camp east of the city and abducted Nathmi Hashash and his son Emad. Additional incursions were reported in surrounding villages, though no abductions were confirmed.
In the town of Allar, north of Tulkarem in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces stormed the home of university student Miqdad Murad Shadid, destroyed its contents, and abducted him. Shadid, 21, is enrolled at An-Najah National University.
In Qalqilia, in northern West Bank, the army invaded the city from its eastern entrance, deployed in the Sufin area and Kafr Saba neighborhood, and fired concussion grenades and toxic gas, causing multiple cases of suffocation among residents.
Troops also stormed the home of Fayez al-Fayoumi, detained him briefly, and released him. Earlier, forces had invaded the villages of Kafr Laqif and Hajjah east of Qalqilia, spreading through the streets without carrying out abductions.
In Jenin’s eastern neighborhood, in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces launched a military incursion with armored vehicles, stormed a residential building, broke into several homes, vandalized property, and abducted multiple young men. Among those taken was Malik Staiti.
Troops also detained a man and his wife, interrogating them on-site to pressure their son Ahmad into surrendering.
In the northern Jordan Valley, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers prevented Palestinian farmers from accessing their agricultural land in Khallet Khader al-Farisiya, expelling them from the area. Last year, escalating colonizer attacks forced several families to abandon their homes in the same region, leaving it devoid of Palestinian presence.
On Saturday evening, the paramilitary colonizers stormed the villages of Burin and Surra in the Nablus district. In Burin, colonizers broke into a home under construction on the village’s southern edge.
Residents confronted the attackers, but Israeli forces intervened, firing toxic gas at Palestinians. In Surra, colonizers, again shielded by Israeli troops, stormed a home and detained a resident for a period before releasing him.
