Israeli occupation forces abducted two Palestinian youths on Sunday evening after Israeli soldiers and illegal paramilitary colonizers invaded the village of Deir Jarir, located northeast of Ramallah in the central part of the occupied West Bank.
Fathi Hamdan, the head of the Deir Jarir village council, said the detainees, Mohammad Shadi Shujaieh and Elian Mo’ayyed Abu Mokho, were abducted at the western entrance of the village following an incursion by illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers.
Eyewitnesses reported that the colonizers, accompanied by Israeli military units, stormed the area while firing live ammunition.
The army subsequently sealed off the village entrance where the colonizers gathered, deploying stun grenades and tear gas against residents to force them away.
Earlier in the day, hundreds of mourners in Deir Jarir laid to rest 21-year-old Mohammad Issa Ahmad Alawi, who succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained during a previous confrontation involving Israeli forces and colonizers.
The incidents mark a continuation of escalating colonizer violence in the occupied West Bank, often conducted under the protection of Israeli military forces.
