Israeli occupation forces carried out multiple invasions across several areas of the occupied West Bank on Thursday, breaking into homes, assaulting residents, abducting Palestinians, and tightening movement restrictions in the southern, central, and northern districts, while illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers continued attacks on Palestinian communities and property.
In Hebron in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the Al‑Fawwar refugee camp south of the city, spreading through the main streets and surrounding residential homes before breaking into several properties and occupying rooftops.
Soldiers abducted four Palestinians, including two brothers: Ahmad and Khaled Jaber Nassar, along with As’ad Shahir Al‑Shawabka and Ashraf Mohammad Al‑Balasi, both from the Al‑Arroub refugee camp and visiting relatives in Al‑Fawwar.
In the Bethlehem district in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces pursued Palestinian workers in the Wadi Al‑Hummus area between Dar Salah east of Bethlehem and the occupied Jerusalem neighborhood of Sur Baher, firing tear‑gas canisters and stun grenades at them.
Later in the day, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers invaded the village of Kisan east of Bethlehem using ATVs, private vehicles, and bicycles, spreading through the main road and village streets while creating loud disturbances and intimidating residents.
Israeli forces also invaded the town of Beit Fajjar south of Bethlehem and stationed themselves in the Al‑Muthallath area, though no abductions were reported.
In Nablus in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the New Nablus neighborhood and the Al‑Ta’awon area, breaking into a home and conducting field interrogations with its occupants.
South of Nablus, colonizers attacked Palestinian vehicles on the road between Al‑Lubban Al‑Sharqiya and the city of Salfit in the central West Bank, damaging several vehicles after hurling stones at them in the Wadi Al‑Sha’er area.
Residents reported that colonizers from two recently established outposts have been closing the road and attacking Palestinians and their property on a near‑daily basis.
In Jenin in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the village of Anza south of the city and attacked a mourning house, firing tear‑gas canisters at the home and into surrounding streets, forcing mourners to evacuate, and causing widespread suffocation among residents.
In Salfit in the central West Bank, Israeli forces closed the northern entrance to the city with a metal gate from early Friday morning, tightening military restrictions and preventing vehicles from passing.
The closure caused severe traffic congestion and obstructed residents’ access to workplaces, schools, and medical facilities.
In Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the village of Tayasir east of the city with several military patrols, spreading through multiple neighborhoods alongside an infantry unit. No abductions were reported, but residents said the soldiers remained in the area for an extended period.
In the northern Jordan Valley, Israeli forces demolished a 250‑cubic‑meter agricultural water reservoir in the Al‑Hamma area.
Human rights activist Fares Faqha said the reservoir belonged to Palestinian farmer Ziad Shehada and was used to irrigate agricultural lands.
The demolition is part of an ongoing Israeli campaign targeting Palestinian water infrastructure, agricultural structures, and grazing areas in the Jordan Valley.
Furthermore, several Israeli military vehicles invaded Jericho city, in the northeastern West Bank, closing streets and intersections.
Earlier Thursday, Israeli occupation forces carried out extensive invasions across several cities, towns, and refugee camps in the occupied West Bank, breaking into homes, assaulting residents, and abducting dozens of Palestinians in coordinated military operations spanning the central, northern, and southern districts.
