Several Palestinians suffered from tear gas inhalation, and one was abducted, on Thursday evening, after Israeli occupation soldiers invaded the town of Beit Ummar, located north of Hebron in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.

Local media activist Mohammad Awad stated that the soldiers invaded the al-Bayada neighborhood and fired tear gas canisters toward residential homes, causing multiple cases of suffocation. Medics treated the affected individuals on site.

During the incursion, soldiers assaulted and abducted 32-year-old Bilal Mahmoud Sabarna while he was inside his shop.

Meanwhile, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers released livestock around Palestinian homes, vandalized a water pump belonging to resident Emad Houshia, and damaged electrical wires and water pipes serving several households.

In Khirbet al-Markaz village, near Masafer Yatta south of Hebron, colonizers also destroyed a grape arbor in front of the home of Jibril Ahmad Houshia, seized a family’s water well, and blocked residents from accessing drinking water.
