Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions, home break‑ins, and abductions across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, targeting communities in occupied Jerusalem, the southern West Bank, the central West Bank, and the northern regions.
In occupied Jerusalem, troops invaded the town of az‑Za’ayyem, east of the city, broke into the home of Amir al‑Qaisi, and abducted him after ransacking the property. Al‑Qaisi had been released from Israeli imprisonment only about a month ago.
The Jerusalem Governorate also reported that Israeli forces abducted another young man, Adel Saray’a, during an invasion of ‘Anata, north of occupied Jerusalem.
Media sources said the invasion in ‘Anata was still ongoing, adding that soldiers fired numerous live rounds and broke into several homes, ransacking them and interrogating dozens of residents while inspecting their ID cards.
In the town of ar‑Ram, north of occupied Jerusalem, Israeli soldiers ambushed Palestinian workers, while army sharpshooters took positions between trees overlooking the area.
In addition, Israeli occupation forces stopped Palestinian vehicles near Augusta Victoria Hospital in the town of at‑Tur, in occupied Jerusalem, in both directions, and inspected the passengers’ ID cards.
In the southern West Bank, the soldiers invaded al‑Fawwar refugee camp, south of Hebron, and abducted Ahmad al‑Talloul after breaking into his home.
Troops also invaded several neighborhoods in Deir Samit, west of Hebron, though no abductions were reported there.
Protests erupted in Halhul, north of Hebron, where soldiers fired tear gas canisters at residents after invading the town. Additional military units invaded Doura, south of Hebron, prompting further confrontations.
In the Bethlehem district, in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted two young men from the town of Tuqu’, southeast of Bethlehem.
Local sources identified them as Ja’far Yousef Sabah, 25, and Muhannad Sami Sabah, after troops invaded their family homes, searched them, and interrogated relatives.
The invasion triggered protests in Tuqu’, where soldiers fired live rounds, rubber‑coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.
Israeli forces also abducted a young man from inside the Al‑Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem during evening prayers, and another from the Ras al‑Amoud neighborhood.
A separate abduction was reported in Kafr ‘Aqab, north of occupied Jerusalem, where protests erupted in the town and in the vicinity of Qalandiya refugee camp.
Troops fired tear gas and concussion grenades, and later invaded Airport Road near Qalandiya.
In related news, two Palestinians were shot and injured by Israeli forces near the Annexation Wall in the town of ar‑Ram, north of occupied Jerusalem.
Israeli forces also opened fire at a Palestinian vehicle near the al‑Naqqab military roadblock between occupied Jerusalem and Bethlehem, though no injuries were reported.
In the central West Bank, Israeli forces invaded several homes in Silwad, northeast of Ramallah, and later invaded Turmus Ayya, north of the city, after an undercover Israeli unit infiltrated one of the homes.
Protests also broke out near the entrance of al‑Am‘ari refugee camp in the nearby city of al‑Bireh, where soldiers fired tear gas at Palestinian youths.
In addition, Israeli forces installed a new iron gate under the bridge of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah, tightening movement restrictions in the area.
According to the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission, Israel currently maintains 917 military roadblocks and gates across the occupied Palestinian territories, including 244 gates installed since October 7, 2023.
In the northern West Bank, Israeli forces renewed their invasion of Ya’bad, west of Jenin, for the second consecutive day, conducting widespread home break‑ins, interrogations, and abductions. Troops also transformed a local wedding hall into a field interrogation center.
The soldiers also invaded the town of Zababda, south of Jenin, leading to protests, and fired several live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets and gas bombs.
In the northern West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli forces invaded the village of al‑Lubban ash‑Sharqiya, south of Nablus, and turned the home of Mohammad Ayash into a military outpost, raising the Israeli flag over the building.
The invasion continued from midnight into the morning, with additional home break‑ins and field interrogations reported.
In Tulkarem, in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli soldiers invaded the town of Qaffin, north of the city, searched several homes, and abducted a young man, Mohammad Ghaleb Ammar.
The widespread invasions and abductions come amid an intensified Israeli military campaign across the occupied West Bank, where communities continue to face home demolitions, movement restrictions, and escalating violence from both Israeli forces and illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers.
