Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions across the occupied West Bank at dawn on Sunday, breaking into homes, abducting Palestinians, and bulldozing agricultural land in several districts, amid continued attacks by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers.
In the central West Bank district of Salfit, Israeli forces invaded the village of Qira, north of the governorate, and broke into the home of the Bakr family.
Local sources reported that the soldiers conducted a two‑hour search during which they destroyed furniture and ransacked the property before abducting three brothers: Odai, Saddam, and Hasan Adel Bakr.
In the central West Bank district of Ramallah, Israeli forces bulldozed agricultural land and uprooted trees in the town of Sinjil, north of the city.
The destruction took place in the Baten al‑Halawa area, where colonizers established an illegal outpost nearly two years ago. Local residents said the bulldozing is part of ongoing efforts to expand the outpost at the expense of privately owned Palestinian land.
Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers also attacked Palestinian construction workers on the outskirts of the village of Jaljulia, northwest of Ramallah, assaulting them and attempting to force them out of the area.
During the attack, the colonizers assaulted and injured two Palestinian construction workers, forcing them to leave the area.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli soldiers bulldozed and uprooted large areas of Palestinian‑owned land in the Iraq ad‑Deir area, southeast of the city.
The targeted lands lie between the Israeli colony of Ma’ale Adumim and the Mishor Adumim industrial zone and are being bulldozed as part of a new colonial expansion project in the area.
In the northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the village of Tayasir, east of Tubas, deploying several military patrols throughout residential neighborhoods. Soldiers broke into multiple homes and searched them, causing damage to their contents. No abductions were reported.
In Jericho, in northeastern West Bank, Israeli occupation forces invaded the Ktef Al-Wadi neighborhood, before assaulting and abducting aPalestinian child.
In Hebron in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted an academic and political analyst from the city. Local sources said soldiers invaded Hebron, broke into the home of Bilal Shweiki, head of the political science department at Hebron University, assaulted him, and abducted him.

In a separate incident, the army abducted Sa’id Elian while he was herding livestock in the Wadi Abu Sha’ban area of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
Also in the southern West Bank, Israeli bulldozers invaded agricultural land in the village of Birin, southeast of Hebron, and began leveling it.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces imposed movement restrictions on Palestinians in the “Karantina” roundabout area south of Hebron, blocking traffic and preventing residents from reaching nearby neighborhoods.
In the Bethlehem district in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted Hamza Hani Obeyyat, 27, from the town of Doha after breaking into and searching his family’s home.
The army also invaded the towns of al‑Khader, al‑Ubeidiya, Dar Salah, Za’tara, and the villages of Abu Njeim and Wadi Rahhal, though no additional abductions were reported.
Furthermore, Israeli colonizers attacked Palestinian vehicles south of Bethlehem shortly after midnight.

Local sources said dozens of colonizers gathered at the junction leading to the illegal colony of Efrat, which is built on Palestinian land, blocked the main road, and attacked passing cars with stones, causing damage and panic among drivers and passengers.
Colonizer attacks in the Bethlehem district have sharply escalated in recent days, including an assault on a man, his son, and two women in the town of al‑Khader while they were working on their land.
