Israeli occupation forces carried out massive invasions across the occupied West Bank, earlier on Tuesday, breaking into homes and abducting Palestinians in multiple districts, alongside additional incursions in occupied Jerusalem.
In Bethlehem, in the southern West Bank, soldiers invaded several areas and abducted four Palestinians. Troops broke into the homes of the families of Ali Ahmad Al‑Arouj in the Al‑Arouj area east of Bethlehem and Ahmad Rizq Salah in the town of Al‑Khader to the south.
They also abducted Nadim Abu Ahour and Mo’ayyad Zawahra, residents of the Saff Street in central Bethlehem, after stopping their vehicle near the village of Jouret ash‑Sham’a. Forces additionally broke into homes belonging to the Al‑Arouj and Al‑Wahsh families in Al‑Arouj and Za’atara, east of Bethlehem, without reporting further abductions.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces invaded several homes in the town of Silwan south of the Old City. Crews from the Israeli municipality’s “Inspection and Enforcement” unit accompanied the soldiers as they broke into homes in the Baten Al‑Hawa and Al‑Bustan neighborhoods.
In Qalqilia, in the northwestern West Bank, five Palestinians were abducted after Israeli forces invaded the city from its eastern entrance and deployed across the neighborhoods of Kafr Saba, Naqqar, and Shreim.
Soldiers broke into and searched multiple homes before abducting former political prisoner Sa’id Diyab, Saed Al‑Fayed, Samih Al‑Shobaki, and Ibrahim Atiyya, along with the minor Hadi Jado.
In Nablus, in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted Ahmad Marshoud and seized his vehicle during a dawn invasion.
Troops then moved toward the village of Kafr Qalil east of the city, where they broke into a home and abducted Khabbab Marwan Al‑Hamad and Firas Samara.
In Tulkarem, in the northwestern West Bank, five Palestinians were abducted during invasions in several areas.
Those taken were Yousef Luqman from Deir Al‑Ghusoun, Hussam Aref from the Ektaba suburb, Ibrahim Mohammad Adnan from the town of Bal’a, Mohammad Faqih from the Salam neighborhood east of the city, and Mahmoud Osama Othman Ghanem from the village of al-Jarushiya. Ghanem is a student at Birzeit University.
In the central West Bank, Israeli forces abducted two university students during invasions in the town of Ni’lin and the village of Deir Abu Mash’al west of Ramallah.
Soldiers broke into a home in Deir Abu Mash’al and abducted Arab Rami Al‑Barghouthi, a Birzeit University student, while another unit invaded Ni’lin and abducted Yamen Mustafa Al‑Zanoun, a student at Palestine Technical University–Kadouri.
These invasions are part of a sustained escalation of Israeli military operations across the occupied West Bank, with near‑daily incursions into Palestinian towns, villages, and refugee camps.
