The soldiers also invaded Baqat Al-Hatab and Hajjah village, east of Qalqilia in the northern West Bank, before storming and violently searching many homes, especially in the Al-Bayader area and the western neighborhood.

During the invasion of Baqat al-Hatab, the soldiers abducted Imtiaz Rafiq and her children, Mo’men and Yaqin Nidal Abdul-Ghani.

In Bethlehem, soldiers invaded the Saff Street area in the city center and abducted Mohammad Mahmoud Abu Ayyash, 25, and Nassim Walid al-Hreimi, 24, after storming and ransacking their homes.

Additional incursions targeted the cities of Beit Sahour and Beit Jala, as well as the Al-Azza and Deheishe refugee camps.

In Ramallah, in the central West Bank, four young men were abducted from the Al-Am’ari refugee camp, south of the city, and another from Al-Bireh, northeast of Ramallah.

In the town of Taffuh, west of Hebron, soldiers invaded multiple residences belonging to the Erzeiqat family, smashing doors, and destroying household belongings.

Similar invasions targeted homes of the Badawi family in Al-Arroub refugee camp, where troops conducted aggressive searches and inflicted property damage.

In tandem with these assaults, Israeli forces installed numerous military roadblocks at the entrances to Hebron city and its surrounding towns, villages, and refugee camps.
