Israeli occupation forces carried out a coordinated series of invasions, home break‑ins, and abductions across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, while illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers escalated attacks in several districts, including occupied Jerusalem.
A Palestinian woman sustained bruises on Sunday after illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers assaulted her in the Masafer Bani Na’im area, east of Hebron, in the southern West Bank.
Local sources reported that several colonizer shepherds attacked the family of Bassam Helmi Al-Hadour and beat his wife, causing multiple bruises. Palestinian ambulance crews transported her to the town’s emergency and medical center for treatment.
In a separate incident, Israeli occupation forces abducted a shepherd from the village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem.
Eyewitnesses said the soldiers abducted Naji Mahmoud ‘Abyat while he was grazing his sheep in Kisan’s lands, claiming the area had been declared a closed military zone.
They added that Israeli colonizers frequently graze their livestock on Kisan’s lands and near Palestinian homes under the protection of Israeli forces.
Also on Sunday, Israeli occupation forces tightened their measures at the eastern entrance to Hebron and stopped residents for inspection.
The soldiers stationed at the northern entrance to the city—Beit ‘Einun, adjacent to the colonial Route 60—stopped Palestinians, checked their IDs, and held them for extended periods, preventing them from crossing.
This main entrance, which has been closed since the start of the war, is considered one of the vital access points connecting Hebron with several surrounding towns and with Bethlehem.
In Tulkarem in the northwestern West Bank, troops invaded the Ektaba suburb, east of the city, and abducted five Palestinians.
Local sources reported that Suhaib Bilal Al‑Zayt, 24, along with Khaldoun Badawi and Rami Ja’rouni, were abducted after the soldiers broke into their homes and ransacked them. The soldiers also detained Sa’dun Badawi for several hours and assaulted him before releasing him.
In the nearby towns of Kafr Zibad and Kafr ‘Abboush, south of Tulkarem, soldiers abducted Ahmad Saleh Shana’ah, 31, and Saleh Habis following searches of their family homes, extending the sweep of abductions across the government.
The invasions also continued in the southern West Bank, where Israeli forces invaded the town of Al‑Khader near Bethlehem.
Soldiers, deployed across several neighborhoods, detained 22‑year‑old Zein Mohammad Issa and subjected him to severe beating before releasing him hours later.
Residents reported that the incursion disrupted movement throughout the town as soldiers established temporary positions in multiple areas.
In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, several Israeli military vehicles invaded the town of Kafr Dan, west of the city, searched several homes, and abducted a young man, Mojahed Ahmad Salah.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli soldiers invaded several areas in Jenin city and nearby towns, conducting massive searches.
The Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, said its fighters detonated an explosive charge near invading Israeli military vehicles, causing damage to one.
The soldiers also invaded Qusin town, south of Nablus, in the northern West Bank, and initiated extensive searches.
In the central West Bank, Israeli occupation forces expanded their deployment across the Ramallah district, invading the towns of Turmus Ayya and Deir Dibwan, as well as the village of Burqa.
Military vehicles patrolled streets and alleyways, maintaining a visible and prolonged presence even though no abductions were reported.
At dawn Sunday, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers infiltrated the nearby village of Atara, north of Ramallah, and torched multiple Palestinian vehicles.
Residents said the colonizers moved through the village under the cover of darkness, setting fire to parked cars before retreating toward their nearby illegal colonialist outposts.
The attack marked a continuation of escalating colonizer violence across the Ramallah area, where communities have faced repeated assaults on homes, vehicles, and agricultural lands.
It is worth mentioning that Israeli police officers fatally shot a Palestinian man from Nablus early Sunday near the Oyun al‑Haramiya area north of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank, before seizing his body.
The killing occurred along Route 60, a corridor that has seen a sharp escalation in shootings, military operations, and colonizer attacks amid intensifying violence across the West Bank.
The Palestinian General Authority for Civil Affairs informed the Ministry of Health that the victim, identified as Ammar Majed Hassan Hijazi, 34, from Nablus in the northern West Bank, was fatally shot after Israeli police opened fire on his vehicle.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces abducted a child from the town of Mikhmas, northeast of the city.
Local sources identified the abducted child as Mohammad Mahmoud Abu Ali, who was taken after soldiers broke into and searched his family’s home.
The abduction followed an incident the previous day in which Israeli forces assaulted several international solidarity activists in the Khallet As‑Sidra Bedouin community near Mikhmas and forcibly removed them from the area, underscoring the heightened pressure on Bedouin communities surrounding the city.
Meanwhile, Israeli colonizers carried out another attack southeast of Jerusalem, targeting Palestinian shepherds in the al- Hathroura Bedouin community near Khan Al‑Ahmar.
According to the Jerusalem Governorate, colonizers chased the shepherds and forced them off their land at gunpoint.
The assault is part of a sustained campaign affecting Bedouin communities from Mikhmas to Wadi Al‑Nar, where colonizers have established roughly 23 outposts used as staging points for daily attacks aimed at forcibly displacing Palestinian residents.
