Less than a day after withdrawing from Tubas, the Israeli occupation army on Monday re‑isolated the city, closing all its main and secondary entrances and imposing a comprehensive curfew, in addition to abducting one Palestinian.
Eyewitnesses reported that occupation forces, including infantry units, spread throughout neighborhoods of the city and surrounding towns.
Educational institutions announced the suspension of in‑person classes to protect the lives of students and teaching staff amid ongoing field tension.
Soldiers also stormed Palestinian homes and vandalized their contents. During the continuing invasion, military bulldozers sealed off main and secondary roads with earth mounds, isolating large parts of Tubas governorate in the northern occupied West Bank from the rest of the country.
The head of Tubas office of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society, Kamal Bani Odah, stated that the soldiers abducted Amin Na’el Abdul-Razeq, 22, from his home in Tubas city.

Bani Odah added that Amin was detained and interrogated for several hours, two days earlier, before her was released.
The army had previously announced its withdrawal from Tubas after a four‑day military operation.
However, on Saturday evening, the army spokesperson declared that the Israeli military campaign, dubbed “Five Stones,” had not ended in the northern West Bank.
On Sunday night, Israeli troops assaulted and injured three Palestinians at the Tayasir military roadblock, east of Tubas.
Nidal Awda, the director of ambulance and emergency services in Tubas, reported that its ambulance crews transported three citizens to the Turkish Governmental Hospital.
He added that citizens sustained bruising after being subjected to assault by occupation forces at the Tayasir military roadblock.
