Earlier Wednesday, Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of incursions and abductions across multiple towns and refugee camps in the occupied West Bank, targeting areas in and around Nablus, Tulkarem, Qalqilia, and Jenin.
In the northern West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli troops abducted a Palestinian man from the town of Kafr Qalil, south of the city.
Local sources confirmed that the forces stormed several homes before abducting Anas Al-Fanni and transferring him to an undisclosed location.
Simultaneously, Israeli forces invaded Balata Refugee Camp, east of Nablus, where they stormed and vandalized several commercial shops.
Witnesses reported extensive property damage and a heavy military presence throughout the refugee camp, sparking fear and tension among residents.
In the town of Huwwara, also south of Nablus, occupation forces forced shop owners along the main road to shut down their businesses.
Rana Abu Haniya, head of public relations at the Huwwara municipality, stated that the closures followed home invasions in the area.
She noted that Huwwara has been under a suffocating siege since February 2023, compounded by repeated attacks from illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers and the installation of additional iron gates within the town.
Further east, Israeli forces stormed the western sector of Beit Furik and carried out provocative patrols in several other localities across Nablus Governorate.
These included the towns of Qusra in the south, Burqa in the northwest, and both the New and Old Askar refugee camps, where soldiers conducted disruptive street tours before withdrawing.
In the northwestern West Bank, five Palestinians were abducted from the Ektaba suburb, east of Tulkarem.
According to local reports, Israeli forces invaded multiple homes, ransacked their contents, and abducted Nassim Mustafa Qandis, Mustafa Nassim Qandis (33), Mohammad Nassim Qandis (23), Mahmoud Nassim Qandis, and former prisoner Abdullah Salah Al-Ariya (29).
The invasion was accompanied by a heavy military deployment, causing widespread panic, particularly among children.
In Qalqilia, in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted three young men from the town of Azzoun, east of the city.
The soldiers invaded from the northern entrance and spread through the Khallet at-Tina area before abducting Ayman Abdul Karim Saleem, Ayoub Odah, and Hamad Radwan following invasive home searches.
They also stormed and destroyed the contents of an agricultural facility belonging to Hamada Al-Haytham.
Meanwhile, in the northern West Bank district of Jenin, Israeli forces invaded the village of Anza, south of the city, breaking into and searching several commercial establishments.
Earlier, troops had stormed homes in the Kharrouba neighborhood of Jenin city, vandalizing their interiors.
In the central West Bank, the army carried out coordinated invasions in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, abducting 11 Palestinians from the towns of Dura al-Qare’ and Beitunia.
Israeli troops stormed Dura al-Qare’, northeast of Ramallah, and abducted ten residents after breaking into their homes.
The detainees include brothers Ahmad and Mahmoud Jamal al-Masri, Islam Radwan, Ahmad Jamal Hassan, Ibrahim Amin, Rami Hassan, Mahmoud Hassan, Farah al-Saadi, and his sons Yahya and Amin.
In a separate invasion of Beitunia, west of Ramallah, the soldiers abducted 19-year-old Fares Ahmad Abdul Halim after violently searching his home.
During the invasion, soldiers physically assaulted his brother, who was subsequently hospitalized for treatment.
These coordinated incursions reflect the ongoing escalation of Israeli military aggression across the occupied West Bank, marked by widespread abductions, property destruction, and collective punishment targeting Palestinian civilians.
On Tuesday, Israeli occupation forces escalated their military offensive in Jenin, detonating a home and ordering residents to evacuate homes near the Jenin refugee camp and expanding daily invasions across surrounding towns and villages.
Earlier Tuesday, Israeli forces assassinated three Palestinians during a combined ground and air assault in the area between the village of Kafr Qud and Wadi Hassan, west of Jenin.
On Sunday evening, the Palestinian Health Ministry announced that Israeli forces killed the young man, Muhammad Bassam Tayaha Sha’our, 20, at the Meitar military roadblock near Ath-Thaheriyya town, south of Hebron in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
Since the beginning of the year, Israeli forces and colonizers have killed 226 Palestinian citizens in the occupied West Bank, including 40 children and 6 women.
Occupation forces have killed 78 Palestinians in Jenin, 40 in Nablus, 29 in Tubas, 19 in Hebron, 17 in Tulkarem, 17 in Ramallah, 9 in Bethlehem, 7 in Jerusalem, 6 in Qalqilia, 3 in Salfit, and 1 in Jericho, according to the Shireen Observatory.
