Israeli occupation forces invaded multiple villages and towns across the occupied West Bank on Thursday evening, injuring one Palestinian and abducting another during a series of military operations north and west of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
Media sources said the invasions targeted Kafr Ni’ma, Bil’in, Beit Sira, Kharbatha al-Misbah, Bani Harith, Beit ‘Ur al‑Fauqa, and Beit ‘Ur al‑Tahta to the west and northwest of Ramallah, as well as Al‑Mughayyer, Turmus Ayya, and Abu Falah to the east.
Troops broke into homes, searched properties, and deployed in residential areas for several hours.
In Beit ‘Ur al‑Tahta, soldiers abducted 21‑year‑old Mohammad Mahmoud Ayyoub Dar Darwish after breaking into his family home.
In a separate incident, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers assaulted 17‑year‑old Laith Oqab Saleh Subha, leaving him with bruises.
In Kafr Ni’ma, a large military force broke into the home of Zaid Ataya and converted it into a military post.
Troops also erected earth mounds at the town’s entrance, restricting movement for residents. During the same invasion, soldiers seized the homes of brothers Ahmad and Mohammad Ashraf Abu Rahma and turned both properties into additional military posts.
In Al‑Mughayyer, east of Ramallah, Israeli forces invaded the town, assaulted 15‑year‑old Fathi Abdul‑Hamid Abu ‘Alya, and fired tear gas and stun grenades at residents. Several families reported suffering from gas inhalation.
In Beit Sira, west of Ramallah, soldiers broke into the home of Mahmoud Nimer Khattab, searched the property, and damaged its contents. Troops also searched several neighboring homes and confiscated sums of money from residents.
In Kharbatha al-Misbah, Israeli forces seized approximately 50 unregistered vehicles. In nearby Kharbatha al-Misbah Bani Harith, a large military unit broke into the home of Amer Abdul‑Latif Hammoud and caused extensive damage to the property.
In Beit ‘Ur al‑Fauqa, soldiers confiscated money belonging to resident Mohammad Awni Talib during the invasion.
