The soldiers also conducted wide‑ranging searches throughout the town, deploying heavily in several neighborhoods before withdrawing.

Israeli paramilitary colonizers also carried out extensive attacks in the South Hebron Hills; they stole agricultural crops in the al‑Farsh area of Masafer Yatta, invaded Palestinian‑owned lands.
Activist Osama Makhamra said that local residents contacted the Israeli police and demanded they intervene to stop the theft taking place inside their agricultural lands.

Makhamra added that the incident is part of the escalating wave of colonizer attacks targeting Palestinians and their property in Masafer Yatta and southern Hebron.
These attacks include the seizure of agricultural land, destruction of crops, and preventing farmers from accessing their own fields, all under the protection and support of Israeli occupation forces.
He stressed that residents remain steadfast on their land despite the repeated violations aimed at undermining their presence and livelihood in the area.
The colonizers also and continued for the second consecutive day to bulldoze agricultural areas in the al‑Jalatiyya region. They also released their livestock onto Palestinian farmlands east of the town of Ethna, west of Hebron.
