Earlier Wednesday, many Israeli military vehicles invaded Jabal Al-Mokabber village, south of the occupied Palestinian capital, Jerusalem, in the West Bank, injured several Palestinians, and abducted a young man after repeatedly assaulting him, causing him to lose consciousness.
The invasion was still ongoing at the time of this report; the soldiers surrounded the village and isolated it before many armored vehicles, including a bulldozer, invaded it to demolish an apartment and a store.
The apartment and the store are owned by locals from the Shqeirat family, who never received a warning or a demolition order.
The soldiers assaulted many Palestinians with batons and fired gas bombs and concussion grenades, causing several injuries.

They also said that the soldiers repeatedly kicked a young man and struck him with their batons and their rifles until he lost consciousness and kept him on the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back.
In addition, using a military bulldozer, the soldiers damaged Palestinian cars in the town.
In related news, the army invaded Biddu town, northwest of Jerusalem, and abducted a young man, Fares Al-Khadour from his home.
Media sources said the young man was still recovering from wounds he suffered when the army shot him in a previous invasion of the town.
