On Wednesday afternoon, Israeli soldiers injured several civilians and abducted a child in Wadi At-Tuffah Street and the Saha roundabout in Hebron, located in the southern part of the West Bank.
Media sources reported that several Israeli military vehicles invaded Wadi At-Tuffah, Be’er as-Sabe’ Street, Bab az-Zawiya Street, and the Saha roundabout in the city, obstructing traffic and assaulting many Palestinians while inspecting their ID cards.
The soldiers also forced shop owners to close their stores in the center of Hebron city, including Be’er as-Sabe’, Wadi At-Tuffah, and Bab az-Zawiya, threatening to shoot or abduct them if they did not comply.
Additionally, the soldiers abducted, interrogated, and assaulted a Palestinian child before releasing him later.
These actions were carried out to facilitate a provocative march and tour by a group of illegal paramilitary Israeli settlers at an archaeological site on Be’er as-Sabe’ Street.
