Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions across the occupied West Bank on Friday, breaking into homes, abducting Palestinians, wounding many others, and deploying military units in multiple towns, villages, and refugee camps from Tubas in the northeast to Hebron in the south.
Before dawn, Israeli forces invaded the town of Tammun, southeast of Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, deploying several military vehicles and spreading throughout residential neighborhoods.
The soldiers broke into numerous homes, conducted extensive searches, and caused property damage before withdrawing without reporting any abductions.
Furthermore, twelve Palestinians were injured on Friday in the village of Aqqaba, east of Tubas, after Israeli occupation forces assaulted residents during an attack carried out by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Tubas said its medical teams treated 12 people who sustained bruises and other injuries after Israeli soldiers beat them in the village.
The assault followed an armed colonizer attack on Aqqaba, carried out under full military protection.
The colonizers, armed with rifles, advanced toward the village, and opened live fire at residents while Israeli forces remained positioned around the area. The incident unfolded as villagers had been attempting since early morning to recover dozens of sheep stolen by colonizers from a local family.
Residents said the colonizers fled with the livestock, prompting villagers to search the surrounding hills and farmland in an effort to retrieve the stolen animals, while Israeli forces continued to deploy in and around Aqqaba.
