Israeli occupation forces escalated their invasions and violations across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, invading multiple towns, villages, and refugee camps, breaking into homes, abducting Palestinians, and converting civilian houses into military posts in several districts.
In Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the Dheisheh Refugee Camp and abducted journalist Islam Amarna, 31, after breaking into and ransacking her home.
The army also abducted Fayez Mohammad Rabay’a, 43, from the town of Al‑Ubeidiya east of Bethlehem after breaking into his home. Rabay’a had recently been wounded by Israeli gunfire while attempting to reach his workplace in occupied Jerusalem.
Israeli forces also invaded the towns of Beit Sahour, Za’tara, Al‑Khader, Tuqu’, Beit Fajjar, Harmala, and Abu Njeim in different parts of the Bethlehem district, though no additional abductions were reported.
In Hebron in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted a young man during an invasion of the southern area of the city and continued breaking into homes in the towns of Sa’ir and Al‑Shuyukh north of the district.
The army also abducted Amin Al‑Hroub, a winning candidate in the municipal elections of Deir Samet west of Hebron, and another man, Amin Al-oroub, from their homes in the town.
In Ramallah in the central West Bank, Israeli forces abducted a 13‑year‑old child, Mohammad Jihad Farhan, after breaking into his family home in the village of Kafr Malek to the east.
The army also invaded the village of Deir Jarir northeast of Ramallah and broke into another home in Kafr Malek. Additional invasions were reported across the district as Israeli forces continued operations in several communities.
Meanwhile, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers uprooted approximately one thousand olive trees in the Turmus Ayya plain north of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
Local residents reported that the attack is part of a continuing pattern of colonizer violence targeting Palestinian agricultural land across the region.
In Jenin in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted two young men, Hamza Monther Hanani and Haitham Ahmad Al‑Saleh, during an invasion of the village of Arrana northeast of the city.
The army also invaded the town of Qabatia south of Jenin, where it abducted Islam Daghlas and his brother Abdullah after breaking into their home and confiscating four gazelles. Another home in the town was also invaded and searched.
In Tulkarem in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded several homes in the town of Saida north of the city and converted a number of them into military posts. The army also invaded the town of Deir Al‑Ghusoun north of Tulkarem.
In Nablus in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the village of Al‑Lubban Al‑Sharqiya south of the city, conducting searches before withdrawing.
On Saturday night, a 13‑year‑old Palestinian child was injured after Israeli soldiers assaulted him in the town of Ar‑Ram north of occupied Jerusalem.
The child, who sustained mild injuries, was transported to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah. He had been walking near a section of the illegal Annexation Wall in the town.
On Friday, Israeli soldiers shot three Palestinians near another section of the Annexation Wall in the same area.
