On Wednesday, Israeli forces continued their invasions and violations throughout the occupied West Bank, breaking into homes, ransacking property, and abducting dozens of Palestinians in a series of coordinated incursions.
In occupied Jerusalem, the soldiers invaded Anata town, northeast of the city, ransacked homes and abducted several Palestinians, including two children, Danial Refa’ey, 13, and Abed Hamdan, 16.
The Jerusalem governorate said the number of abducted Palestinians in Anata remain unclear, as invasion is ongoing, and added that the soldiers are conducting field detentions and interrogation of many Palestinians.
In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, Israeli soldiers abducted two Palestinians: Samer Mahmoud Abdul Qader Freihat from the Al-Hadaf neighborhood, and Nidal Hantouli from the town of Silat ath-Thaher, after summoning him for interrogation at the Salem military base.
In addition, the soldiers invaded the town of Biddya, west of Salfit in the central West Bank, deploying across multiple neighborhoods and storming dozens of homes.
Local sources reported that soldiers conducted extensive searches, damaged property, and held detained many residents for hours, interrogating them on-site.
In Hebron, in the occupied West Bank’s southern part, twelve Palestinians were abducted during a large-scale military incursion. Local and media sources in Hebron confirmed that dozens of homes were broken into and residents were subjected to physical abuse and property destruction.
Among those abducted were Mo’men Misk, Karim Misk, Yousef An-Natsha, Zaid An-Natsha, Anas An-Natsha, Hamouda An-Natsha, and Abdullah Al-Qawasmi, in addition to Hussein Al-Heeh from Surif town, northwest of Hebron, and Nathir Nassar from Doura, southwest of the city.
In the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, media activist Mohammad Awad reported that Israeli troops invaded multiple neighborhoods, including Ath-Thaher, Safa, Beit Za’ta, Aseeda, and the town center.
They stormed residential homes and shops, smashing doors and furniture. Soldiers also illegally confiscated cash from the home of attorney Khaled Qawqas, three mobile phones from the residence of Maher Ibrahim Sabarna, and impounded a vehicle belonging to former political prisoner Jalal Ahmad Bregheeth.
Three former political prisoners, Suleiman Bahar (25), Karim Abu Maria (27), and Khattab Abu Maria (22), were abducted from Beit Ummar, and taken to the Etzion military base and security center. Additionally, troops blocked access to the town’s central mosque, preventing residents from reaching it for dawn prayers.
Military roadblocks were also installed across the entrances of Hebron’s cities, towns, villages, and refugee camps. Several main and side roads were sealed off with concrete blocks, metal gates, and earth mounds.
In Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted siblings Nasser and Jamal Mot’eb, after invading the camp and wreaking havoc inside several homes.
Meanwhile, soldiers stormed the nearby villages of Duma, Beit Dajan, Beita, and Kafr Qalil, patrolling the streets but making no reported abductions.
In Beitunia, west of Ramallah in the central West Bank, Israeli forces abducted Yacoub Sharaka after invading and ransacking his home. They also invaded the village of Deir Ibzi’, though no abductions were reported there.
Further south in Bethlehem, soldiers abducted Amer Raba’iya from Al-Obeidiyya and Dia’ Salah from Al-Khader after storming and searching their homes. Additional invasions were carried out in Husan, Za’tara, Dar Salah, and Nahhalin.
In addition, Israeli soldiers invaded the town of Tammun near Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, abducting 22-year-old Ezzeddin Qteishat from his family’s home.
The invasion lasted several hours and involved the storming of many homes, extensive vandalism, and the detention of 17 civilians for field interrogations. The assault was led by undercover special units, followed by military reinforcements and drone surveillance.
Governor Ahmad Al-As’ad of Tubas and the northern Jordan Valley condemned the invasion, describing it part of a growing campaign of repression targeting Palestinian towns.
He added that the Israeli occupation army continues to systematically target civilian homes and deliberately instilling fear among women and children.
Al-As’ad urged the international community to intervene to halt the escalating Israeli aggression, stating that these tactics would not break the will or resilience of the Palestinian people.
