Israeli forces carried out a series of invasions, abductions, and movement restrictions across several areas of the occupied West Bank on Monday, while armed illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked Palestinian vehicles and neighborhoods near Ramallah and occupied Jerusalem.
In Jenin, in northern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted Mohammad Ayman al‑Qandil after invading the student housing complex of the Arab American University and breaking into his residence.
In a separate incident, troops invaded the town of Ya‘bad, south of Jenin, storming several homes and searching them extensively, causing damage.
Earlier in the day, the army installed a military roadblock at the eastern entrance to the town, obstructing traffic before invading the area.
In Ni‘lin, west of Ramallah in central West Bank, Israeli forces closed all entrances to the town as they carried out a large‑scale invasion.
The army installed military roadblocks at every access point and deployed reinforcements throughout the day.
The army also demolished an agricultural room belonging to Raed Srour, who had rebuilt it on the ruins of his home that Israeli forces demolished—along with his brother’s home—in April of last year.
Just days earlier, Israeli authorities issued new stop‑work orders targeting several structures in the town.
In related news, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked Palestinian vehicles near Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah.
The colonizers from the colony of Shilo, built on Palestinian land, hurled stones at cars traveling on the main Ramallah–Nablus Road. No injuries were reported, though the attack caused panic among drivers.

Military vehicles and infantry units entered the al‑Rafeed plain north of the village, firing stun grenades and large quantities of toxic tear gas. Troops also invaded the home of the Abu Jabr family. No injuries or abductions were reported.
In the Jerusalem area, Israeli forces invaded the town of ‘Anata, firing rubber‑coated metal bullets, stun grenades, and tear‑gas canisters throughout the streets and alleys. Meanwhile, paramilitary colonizers stormed the Tablas area of Hizma, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, firing live rounds at residents and smashing several parked vehicles. Israeli forces later invaded the town as the colonizers withdrew.

Additional military activity was reported in Bir Nabala and Shu‘fat refugee camp, where troops fired tear‑gas canisters at residents.
At dawn on Monday, Israeli occupation forces invaded several areas across the West Bank, abducting at least 64 Palestinians, demolishing a residential room, confiscating vehicles, and imposing widespread movement restrictions through military roadblocks and road closures.
