Israeli forces carried out a series of invasions, abductions, and movement restrictions across multiple areas of the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, including Ramallah in the central West Bank, Jenin in the northern West Bank, Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, and occupied Jerusalem.
Local sources in Al‑Bireh, in the Ramallah area, reported that Israeli soldiers invaded the Um Ash‑Sharayet neighborhood, triggering protests.
During the invasion, soldiers abducted a young man, whose identity had not yet been confirmed at the time of reporting.
In a related development, Israeli forces fired tear‑gas canisters during their invasion of Kafr Aqab, north of occupied Jerusalem, though no injuries were reported.
In Al‑Silat Al‑Harithiya, west of Jenin, Israeli forces invaded the town and abducted Abdul‑Hadi Shadi Al‑Omari, a resident with disabilities, according to local sources.
Israeli troops also invaded the nearby town of Al‑Yamun, west of Jenin, where they broke into a home, searched it extensively, and damaged its contents. No abductions were reported in that incident.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli authorities issued expulsion orders against two Palestinian residents, barring them from entering the Al‑Aqsa Mosque compound.
The Jerusalem Governorate stated that Areen Al‑Za’anin was barred from entering the holy site for six months, while Adnan Shalludi received a one‑week expulsion order, subject to renewal.

Israeli forces also invaded the Be’er Ayyoub neighborhood in Silwan, south of the Al‑Aqsa Mosque, as part of ongoing military activity in the area.
In addition, Israeli forces invaded the Khallet Al‑Sidra Bedouin community near the village of Mikhmas, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, preventing residents from repairing or restoring homes previously burned by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers.
The community has faced repeated attacks by colonizers in recent days, including assaults on residents and international volunteers, the destruction of homes and livestock shelters, the vandalism and theft of solar panels and surveillance cameras, and the burning of homes and vehicles. Israeli forces simultaneously forced several international volunteers to leave the area.
In Za’tara, east of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces closed the Ras Al‑Wad entrance with a metal gate, blocking all vehicle movement into and out of the town, according to security sources.
On Tuesday evening, a Palestinian man was killed after being shot by Israeli forces during their invasion of the town of Ath‑Thaheriya, south of Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that Mohammad Rajeh Nasrallah, 20, from Ath‑Thaheriya, succumbed to critical injuries sustained when Israeli soldiers opened fire during the military incursion.
