Israeli occupation forces continued the coordinated invasions across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, targeting communities in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Nablus, Tulkarem, Jenin and Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, with widespread assaults, abductions, injuries, and property destruction.
In Ar-Ram town, north of occupied Jerusalem, a Palestinian man was shot in the leg with live ammunition near a section of the Apartheid Wall.
Emergency crews from the Palestinian Red Crescent evacuated him to hospital amid ongoing military presence.
In Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank, the Israeli military continued its large-scale invasion for the third consecutive day.
Troops stormed homes, uprooted olive trees in the eastern plains, and confiscated dozens of civilian vehicles.
Among those abducted was Amin Abu Alia, head of the village council, who was forced to surrender after soldiers invaded his home and took his son.
Separately, Luay Abu Alia was abducted following the invasion of his family home, which was subjected to excavation and destruction.
In Ramallah, in the central West Bank, Israeli occupation forces invaded the village of Shuqba, firing toxic gas and causing multiple cases of suffocation among residents. Additional invasions were reported in Ni’lin, Qibya, and Budrus, though no abductions were confirmed.
In Nablus governorate, in the northern West Bank, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers, accompanied by Israeli soldiers, invaded the villages of Burin and Surra.
The colonizers stormed under construction homes, assaulted residents, and briefly detained one Palestinian. Israeli forces fired tear gas at locals who attempted to defend their communities.
In the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the town of Attil near Tulkarem at dawn, abducting two residents, Maher Daqa and Jawad Silawi, after storming their homes and ransacking property.
In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, the soldiers invaded the eastern neighborhood of the city, storming residential buildings and abducting several young men.
They vandalized homes, interrogated a couple on-site to pressure their son into surrendering, and abducted youth including Malik Esteiti.
In the southern West Bank, occupation forces invaded Deheishe refugee camp near Bethlehem, abducting 29-year-old Adi Adnan Shehada after destroying parts of his home.
Additional invasions were carried out in the Hindaza area, where several residents were detained for hours before being released.
In Hebron, in the southern West Bank, the soldiers invaded the towns of Ethna and Beit Awwa, especially their central area, and conducted searches.
The soldiers also invaded Qalqilia city, in the northern West Bank, stormed and searched several shops, detained and interrogated many young men while investigating their ID cards, in addition to firing gas bombs, causing injuries.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) medics rushed a young man with special needs to a hospital after suffering the severe effects of tear gas inhalation.
These systematic invasions and abductions reflect Israel’s ongoing policy of collective punishment, land dispossession, and suppression of Palestinian resistance across the occupied West Bank.
The escalation is accompanied by intensifying serious violations by illegal paramilitary colonizer groups, and the targeting of civilian infrastructure, home, lands and other property.
