Israeli occupation forces invaded multiple towns in the occupied West Bank early Monday, carrying out widespread searches, breaking into homes across the Tulkarem governorate in the northwestern West Bank, and abducting four Palestinians.
The operations, which involved armored vehicles and infantry units, disrupted traffic and movement as forces patrolled streets and neighborhoods in several towns and villages.
Local witnesses said Israeli forces invaded the towns of Qaffin, Attil, Deir al-Ghusoon and Shweika in Tulkarem, and the villages of Far’un and Kafr Sur in the governorate, where troops moved through residential areas and intercepted vehicles and pedestrians.
The soldiers broke into a number of homes, conducted extensive searches, damaged household contents, and detained residents during the operations.
Residents and local sources reported that four young men were abducted after soldiers broke into their homes in the town of Attil in Tulkarem. The abducted Palestinians are Mo’tasem Sa’adi, Ala’ Muhammad Salim, Nihad Salim and Muawiya Shalabi.
Sources also said that belongings and sums of money were taken from some homes in the village of Far’un in Tulkarem; no abductions were reported there.
Protests also erupted late Sunday in the town of Beit Rima, northwest of Ramallah in the central West Bank, after a large Israeli force invaded the town and deployed across several neighborhoods.
Reporters on the scene said soldiers fired live rounds and stun grenades; authorities and local medics reported no injuries.
Beit Rima has been the site of repeated invasions in recent weeks, during which forces have broken into homes, conducted searches, and carried out field interrogations of residents.
The incidents come amid ongoing tensions across the occupied West Bank, where invasions by Israeli forces and escalating violations frequently prompt protests.
Media outlets have documented similar operations in other parts of the territory, including Hebron in the southern West Bank, Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, Jenin in the northern West Bank, Nablus in the northern West Bank, Salfit in the central West Bank, Tubas in the northeastern West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.
