Israeli forces invaded several areas across the occupied West Bank, earlier on Thursday, conducting home invasions, field interrogations, and abductions in Jenin, Qalqilia, Tulkarem, Bethlehem, Salfit, and occupied Jerusalem.
In Jenin in the northern West Bank, Israeli soldiers invaded the village of Marka south of the city, broke into homes, and searched them extensively.
Local sources said the army turned a community building in the village into a field interrogation center, where soldiers detained several residents and interrogated them for hours.
In Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted a young man, identified as Yousef Dweikat, after invading the city through its eastern entrance.
Soldiers deployed in the Kafr Saba and the Naqqar neighborhoods, fired illumination and stun grenades, and broke into his home before abducting him.
In Tulkarem in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted four Palestinians after breaking into their homes and ransacking their contents.
Local sources said the army abducted Ahmad Essam Atiwi and his brother Yazan Atiwi from the southern neighborhood.
Ahmad, a recently released former political prisoner, had been freed only twenty days earlier after serving three years in Israeli prisons. The soldiers also abducted Ameed Mohammad Tweir and Adham Jalal Odah, 16, from the eastern neighborhood, after assaulting the teen and beating him.
In Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted several young men after invading multiple neighborhoods.
Media sources said the army abducted Mohammad Mousa Hijazi from the Jabal Al-Mawaleh area, Yousef Khalil Kawazba, 27, from the Gold Market area in the Al-Fawaghra neighborhood, and Ali Abu Latifa after breaking into his home during a pre-dawn invasion.
In Beit Duqqu, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces abducted the former prisoner Mohammad Ali Dawoud during an invasion of the town.
In Salfit in the central West Bank, Israeli forces detained a young man from the town of Deir Ballout and assaulted heavy machinery belonging to a local resident.
Local sources said soldiers, accompanied by an Israeli colonizer, detained Ahmad Sa’adat Abu Khair while he was traveling on the road between Deir Ballout and the nearby village of Rafat on his way to receive medical treatment. He was held from Wednesday evening until early Thursday morning.
The soldiers also smashed a bulldozer belonging to Khaled Dawoud Abu Khair, damaged its equipment, and seized tools, claiming it was operating outside the designated zoning area.
These invasions come amid a continued escalation across the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces have intensified military operations, movement restrictions, and home invasions in recent weeks.
