Two Palestinian brothers from the village of al‑Surra, south of Doura in the Hebron district in the southern part of the occupied West Bank, were critically wounded at dawn after Israeli forces shot them with “dum‑dum” expanding bullets near the village of Beit Marsam.
Witnesses said the two young men were left bleeding on the ground for more than an hour due to restrictions by the invading Israeli soldiers, before ambulances from the Doura Municipality and Palestinian Red Crescent were finally permitted to reach them and transfer them to hospital, where their conditions were described as life‑threatening.
Israeli forces simultaneously carried out a series of invasions across the Hebron governorate.
In the village of al‑Burj, south of Hebron, soldiers stormed several homes, searched them, and interrogated residents. Another military unit invaded the town of Beit Awwa, west of Doura, conducting house‑to‑house searches before withdrawing.
In the northern part of the district, Israeli forces invaded the al‑Arroub refugee camp and abducted at least four children. Residents reported that soldiers spread through the camp’s alleys, broke into homes, and detained the minors before taking them to an undisclosed location.
In a separate pre‑dawn operation, Israeli forces stormed multiple neighborhoods in the town of Beit Ummar.
According to media activist Mohammed Ayyad Awad, soldiers stormed several homes, searched them, and ransacked their contents before abducting university student Ezzat Tareq Ezzat Awad, 20, and transferring him to an unknown destination.
Awad noted that these incursions form part of a sustained daily policy targeting the town, which has been suffering from the closure of its internal roads for more than a week.
Earlier Sunday, Israeli occupation forces carried out extensive invasions across the occupied West Bank, shooting and injuring five Palestinians, breaking into homes, and abducting numerous residents in multiple districts.
The ongoing restrictions have severely disrupted movement and deepened the hardships faced by residents, who continue to live under a prolonged and tightening siege.
