Earlier on Sunday, Israeli soldiers invaded Beit Ummar town, north of Hebron in the southern part of the occupied West Bank, storming and ransacking homes before abducting three Palestinians, including a child.
Mohammad Awad, a local media activist in Beit Ummar, reported that the soldiers abducted two former political prisoners, Sakhr Hisham Abu Mariya, 32, and Bashir Abu Ayyash, 28, as well as a wounded child, Wasim Bassem Al-‘Allami, 16, who had been shot by the army during a previous invasion.
Awad added that the soldiers caused extensive damage while storming dozens of homes in Beit Ummar, destroying doors, windows, furniture, and electronics. They also dismantled surveillance cameras and confiscated their recordings.
Additionally, the army installed numerous roadblocks on roads leading to Hebron city and its surrounding villages, towns, and refugee camps. Many streets were closed off with concrete blocks and iron barriers, further restricting movement in the area.
In related news, Israeli soldiers invaded Rashaida village, east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, on the first day of Eid Al-Fitr Muslim feast, and stormed Harun ar-Rashid Mosque during dawn prayers.
During the invasion, the soldiers caused significant damage to property, smashing the windshields and windows of several cars and puncturing their tires.
In related news, illegal Israeli colonizers released their cattle into Palestinian farmlands in several areas of the Northern Plains in the occupied West Bank.
Local sources reported that a group of colonizers allowed their cattle to graze on Palestinian crops in the al-Burj area of the Northern Plains.
As crops grow each year, colonizers habitually release their cattle and livestock to graze on these farmlands, causing significant losses for Palestinian farmers.
