Israeli occupation forces carried out widespread invasions and abductions across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, targeting homes, communities, and civilian infrastructure in multiple districts, including Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Hebron, and Nablus. Soldiers and Colonizers also killed three Palestinians near Ramallah.
In Bethlehem, Israeli forces abducted Mohammad Haroun Ghazal, 28, from the village of Kisan after storming and searching his father’s home.
His brother, Malek, had been abducted earlier in the day following colonizer allegations that he confronted them while they grazed livestock on village land.
Additional abductions were reported across the district, including Ahmad Issa Ta’amra from Tuqu’, Abdullah Abu Hadeed from the Ta’amra area east of Bethlehem, and Yousef Mohammad Da’amsa from the as‑Saf Street neighborhood in central Bethlehem, all taken after soldiers invaded and searched their homes.
In the Jerusalem district, Israeli forces invaded the village of Beit Ijza, northwest of the city, and searched several homes, though no abductions were reported.
The Nablus district, in the northern West Bank, witnessed some of the most extensive operations of the day.
In the village of Duma, south of the city, Israeli forces abducted Ahed Nazeeh Dawabsha while he was changing a tire on his vehicle in the center of the village. Soldiers also seized his vehicle, which was loaded with livestock.
Earlier, the army closed the iron gate at the entrance to Duma and the nearby village of Majdal Bani Fadel, preventing dozens of residents from reaching their homes.
Israeli forces also invaded Beita and Iraq Burin, firing live rounds and toxic tear‑gas canisters, which triggered protests without reported injuries.
At dawn, the army abducted six Palestinians from Nablus and the al‑Ein refugee camp after storming their homes and ransacking their contents.
In Qusra, south of Nablus, soldiers invaded the town, searched several homes, turned one into a military post, and detained several residents for field interrogation.
Israeli forces also imposed new movement restrictions in the Nablus district, closing several side roads in Al‑Lubban ash‑Sharqiya with concrete barriers near the girls’ and boys’ secondary schools. The village’s main entrance has already been sealed for months with a metal gate and cement blocks, further isolating the community.
In Hebron, in the southern West Bank, the soldiers abducted former prisoner Khalil Awad, 40, from the town of Ethna. Awad suffers from multiple health conditions following a prolonged hunger strike before his release two years ago.
Additional abductions were reported during invasions of Dura and ath-Thaheriya, though the identities of those taken were not immediately known.
In the al‑Fawwar refugee camp, dozens of residents suffered tear‑gas inhalation after Israeli forces stormed the camp and fired live rounds and toxic gas canisters.
These coordinated invasions and abductions reflect a continued escalation in Israeli military operations and colonizer violence across the occupied West Bank, deepening pressure on Palestinian communities and restricting movement, safety, and daily life.
Sunday always witnesses escalating violations carried out by illegal Israeli colonizers, in Nablus, Jerusalem, Tubas and Ramallah where the colonizers and soldiers killed three Palestinians in Abu Falah, east of Ramallah city.
