Updated: Israeli forces and illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out a coordinated wave of attacks across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, shooting two Palestinians, abducting several others, and invading multiple villages, Bedouin communities, and agricultural areas from Hebron in the southern West Bank to Jericho in the eastern West Bank, Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, and Salfit in the central West Bank.
Residents and local officials described the escalation as part of a sustained campaign to pressure Palestinian communities off their land and expand colonial control.
Armed colonizers attacked Palestinian homes in the Hamroush area of Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron, firing live rounds at residents and their houses and injuring two Palestinians.
Israeli forces then invaded the area to protect the colonizers, broke into several homes, and abducted a resident identified as Nabil Al‑Tarwa, while assaulting unarmed civilians who attempted to repel the attack.
Witnesses said colonizers tried to reach several homes to set them on fire and inflict further damage on property.
Colonizer groups also carried out provocative vehicle parades in Al‑Burj village, west of Hebron, driving through residential streets while waving Israeli flags and chanting racist slogans.
In Beit Ula, west of Hebron, colonizers conducted another provocative tour near areas where thousands of dunams of Palestinian land have been seized along the route of the Annexation Wall, chasing residents and shepherds from their fields.
In Ath‑Thaheriya, south of Hebron, colonizers invaded the Al‑Tayyar neighborhood, roaming between homes and chanting slogans calling for the killing and expulsion of Palestinians and the seizure of their land.
In Janba, in the Masafer Yatta area, colonizers continued their daily assaults on shepherds, while Israeli forces fired concussion grenades at the shepherds to provide cover for the colonizers.
Communities across Masafer Yatta and multiple villages in the Hebron district continue to face synchronized attacks by colonizers and Israeli forces aimed at forcing residents from their land through violence, intimidation, and repeated invasions, clearing the way for further colonial expansion.
The colonizers also invaded several neighborhoods in Hebron city, closed streets and intersections, before assaulting many Palestinians and their homes.
In the eastern West Bank, colonizers invaded the Halq Ar‑Rummana area northwest of Jericho, breaking into homes belonging to the Al‑Mahalees family during the time of iftar. Residents said they had previously removed their livestock from the area to prevent colonizer theft.
In the northeastern West Bank, colonizers wearing military uniforms invaded several homes in Aqqaba village, east of Tubas, threatening residents with expulsion within days.
In nearby Khirbet Yarza, colonizers attacked residents in their homes as part of a growing wave of violence targeting Palestinian communities and property.
In the central West Bank, a colonizer vandalized a water meter belonging to farmers in Wadi Qana, north of Deir Istiya in the Salfit district, damaging agricultural infrastructure.
Farmers in the area report repeated colonizer attacks aimed at forcing them off their land to facilitate further colonial expansion.
Near occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces abducted three Palestinians from the Abu Al‑Hilu Bedouin community near Khan Al‑Ahmar, east of the city, after illegal paramilitary colonizers attacked the area and assaulted residents.
The Jerusalem Governorate said colonizers invaded the community, damaged property, and assaulted families before Israeli forces arrived to protect them.
Soldiers then broke into several homes and abducted Ahmad Salem Yousef Jahalin, Ahmad Mohammad Yousef Jahalin, and a woman whose identity had not yet been confirmed.
Residents said the attack was part of an escalating pattern targeting Bedouin communities in the Jerusalem periphery, where families face constant threats of displacement and land seizure.
The surge in colonizer violence across the occupied West Bank reflects a broader pattern of coordinated violations by colonizer groups and Israeli forces, who continue to invade communities, break into homes, assault residents, and seize land in efforts to expand colonial control and pressure Palestinians into leaving their land.
