Israeli occupation forces and illegal paramilitary colonizers intensified their campaign of destruction across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, targeting Palestinian land, homes, and civilians through coordinated invasions and violations.
In the village of al-Minya, southeast of Bethlehem, Israeli paramilitary colonizers invaded the Jabal al-Qarn area and cut down dozens of olive trees belonging to the heirs of Abdul-Hadi Mohammad al-Mutawwar.
Village Council head Zayed Kawazba stated the same group had previously established an illegal outpost on the site in July, which has since served as a base for escalating attacks against the village.
In Husan, west of Bethlehem, occupation authorities issued demolition notices targeting several commercial establishments at the village’s western entrance.
The properties that are threatened include a mobile grocery store, a construction supplies shop, two car wash facilities, and a secondhand goods store, owned by the locals.
Later that evening, Israeli forces invaded the village of Abu Njeim, southeast of Bethlehem, and stationed themselves near residential complexes.
In al-Jab’a, southwest of Bethlehem, occupation forces demolished a farming room belonging to Mohammad Thieb Masha’la, citing lack of a permit.
In the village of Imneizil, east of Yatta in the southern West Bank governorate of Hebron, Israeli soldiers abducted two brothers, Basem and Omar Makhamra, after invading their home and vandalizing its contents.
Later that evening, colonizers launched a violent assault on Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, injuring several Palestinians and international solidarity activists.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported four injuries, including three women and a young man, all of whom required hospitalization.
Activist Osama Makhamra confirmed that colonizers attacked residents and international peace activists in Khirbet Iqawwis, inflicting bruises, and other injuries.
These assaults, conducted with the complicity and participation of Israeli forces, form part of a broader campaign to forcibly displace Palestinians from their homes in Masafer Yatta.
In Ramallah, in the central West Bank, the soldiers invaded and ransacked many homes in various communities in the governorate, and took large sums of cash from a registered Palestinian exchange shop in Ramallah city.
Israeli soldiers also invaded the town of Aqaba, north of Tubas, in the northeastern West Bank, deploying multiple patrols and storming the homes of slain Palestinians Abdul-Rauf al-Masri and Ahmad Walid Abu Ara. Both families had previously received demolition orders from the Israeli military.
In Khirbet at-Tawil near Aqraba, in the northern governorate of Nablus, colonizers stormed the home of Mohammad Fawaz Abdul-Qader, whose livestock had earlier been stolen, and then invaded the property of Fakher Basem Salim in a deliberate act of provocation aimed at intimidating the Palestinians.
In Sebastia, northwest of Nablus, heavily armed troops invaded the archaeological district, forced shopkeepers to close, ransacked homes, and detained residents.
In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, dozens of Israeli military vehicles invaded al-Yamun town, west of the city, before closing streets and storming the home of Ja’far Abdul-Karim, causing extensive damage.
Local sources reported that the army also invaded Jenin refugee camp, conducting military training with explosives amid an ongoing offensive that began on January 21, 2025.
The assault has resulted in the killing of 45 Palestinians, dozens of injuries, including among children and women, the abduction of scores of residents, and the widespread demolition of homes, buildings, and infrastructure, particularly in the camp, displacing thousands of families.
In Isawiya, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, Israeli bulldozers demolished a room and razed agricultural land belonging to Nasser Noureddin Obeid.
Olive trees were uprooted, water tanks destroyed, and fencing torn down. Local sources confirmed that daily invasions of Isawiya persist, often accompanied by home raids, abductions, and demolition orders.
These coordinated settler and military invasions reflect a systematic strategy of land seizure, forced displacement, collective punishment, clear violations of international law and fundamental human rights.
Since October 7, 2023, Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers have killed, 1,032 Palestinians, including 210 children, 22 women, 17 elders, 1 journalist, 2 medics, and 33 detainees; Israel still refused to release the corpses of 254 Palestinians to their families for burial.
291 Palestinians were killed in Jenin, 213 in Tulkarem, 127 in Nablus, 94 in Tubas, 93 in Hebron, 72 in Ramallah, 37 in Qalqilia, 30 in Bethlehem, 55 in Jerusalem, 7 in Salfit and 13 in Jericho and Northern Plains.
