Israeli occupation forces carried out a new series of invasions across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, storming refugee camps, towns, and neighborhoods, while illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked Palestinian vehicles and gathered at major road junctions under military protection.
Israeli forces invaded the Dheisheh refugee camp, south of Bethlehem, deploying across several neighborhoods, conducting foot patrols, and breaking into the homes of former detainees Nidal Abu Omar and Shehab Mizher. Local sources said soldiers searched the properties extensively before withdrawing.
The army also invaded the nearby towns of Al Khader and Tuqu’, as well as the Khalayel al Louz area.
Later in the evening, troops returned to Al Khader and positioned themselves in the Al Bawwaba, Sabri, and Great Mosque areas. No home invasions or abductions were reported during this second incursion.
In addition, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked Palestinian vehicles with stones in the Aqabat Hassana area west of Bethlehem, damaging several cars.
Media sources reported that dozens of colonizers gathered at the Etzion and Efrat junctions and spread along the colonial bypass road 60, throwing stones at passing Palestinian vehicles.
Israeli forces also smashed the windshield of a vehicle belonging to a resident of Yatta, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank, near Aqabat Hassana at the main entrance to Bethlehem’s western rural area.
Furthermore, several Palestinians suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation when Israeli forces invaded the town of ath-Thaheriya, south of Hebron.
Medical sources said soldiers fired large quantities of toxic tear gas at residents, leading to multiple cases of suffocation.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli colonizers attacked Palestinian cars at the Jaba’ roundabout northeast of the city, causing material damage.
Witnesses said colonizers repeatedly hurled stones at passing vehicles, part of a pattern of recurring assaults in areas surrounding colonial outposts. Communities near and around colonies in the Jerusalem district continue to face sustained pressure aimed at forcing residents to abandon their homes and villages.
The soldiers also closed the military roadblock at the entrance to the Shu’fat refugee camp, firing stun grenades at Palestinians in the area.
Later in the evening, troops prevented worshippers from performing Taraweeh prayers in several neighborhoods of occupied Jerusalem while maintaining the ongoing closure of the Al Aqsa Mosque compound.
Forces deployed around Damascus Gate, Bab as-Sahera, and the vicinity of the Rashidiya School, pushing worshippers toward the Wadi al Joz neighborhood to disperse them. Soldiers also fired tear gas near the Friday Market entrance, heightening tension in the area.
In related news, Israeli authorities issued six‑month expulsion orders banning three Jerusalemite residents from entering the Al Aqsa Mosque: Emad Khalil al‑Abbasi, Khadija Khweiss, and former detainee Dajana Attoun, who had previously faced repeated summonses before receiving the final order extending until September.
Earlier, an expulsion order was also issued against former detainee Mousa Fatafta from Silwan. These measures form part of the ongoing escalation targeting Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem and efforts to restrict access to Al Aqsa Mosque and limit freedom of movement and religious practice.
In the Ramallah and Al Bireh district, in the central West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the towns of Silwad and Turmus Ayya, along with the villages of Deir Jarir, Abu Falah, and Al Mughayyer. Local sources said soldiers seized a wastewater pumping vehicle in Silwad.
Israeli colonizers also gathered at road junctions south of Nablus in the northern West Bank, blocking movement and preventing Palestinians from traveling between villages. Witnesses reported colonizers spreading along the road connecting Nablus and Ramallah.
Israeli forces simultaneously invaded several additional areas, including Jabal Abu Thoheir in Jenin, the town of Qabatia south of Jenin, and the town of Azzun east of Qalqilia, where soldiers broke into homes during their operations.
On Monday evening, Israeli soldiers killed 17‑year‑old Salim Sami Salim Fuqaha’ near the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank’s central part and moderately wounded another Palestinian who remains in moderate condition.
At dawn Tuesday, Israeli forces carried out a series of invasions across West Bank, breaking into homes, abducting civilians, and accompanying groups of illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers during incursions into Palestinian communities.
Before dawn on Sunday, Israeli undercover forces infiltrated the town of Tammun, south of Tubas in the occupied West Bank’s northeastern area, before dawn on Sunday and opened fire on a Palestinian family’s vehicle, killing the father, mother, and two of their children, and injuring their other two children.
Also Sunday, illegal Israeli colonizers killed a Palestinian young man and wounded others on Saturday, after storming the village of Qusra, south of Nablus in the northern occupied
West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry announced the death of 28-year-old Amir Mu’tasim Mahmoud Odah, after Israeli settlers shot him with live rounds during confrontations in Qusra village.
On Sunday March 7, three Palestinians, Thaer Farouq Hamayel, 24, and Fares Jawdat Hamayel, 57, were killed after Israeli colonizers shot them both in the head with live ammunition after infiltrating Abu Falah village, northeast of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank.
During the attack, a third citizen Mohammad Hassan Murra, 55, died after arriving to the hospital in cardiac arrest after being exposed to tear gas fired by occupation forces, while three others were shot with live rounds, one in the head, one in the pelvis, and another in the shoulder.
Since the beginning of the Israeli military aggression against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, occupation forces and settlers have killed 1133 Palestinian citizens, and injured 10,483 in the occupied West Bank, including 233 children and 24 women.
In the Jenin governorate, 310 Palestinians have been killed, while 213 were killed in Tulkarem, 147 in Nablus, 110 in Hebron, 102 in Tubas, 86 in Ramallah, 62 in Jerusalem, 44 in Qalqilia, 36 in Bethlehem, 15 in Jericho and the Jordan Valley, and 8 in Salfit, according to the Shireen Observatory.
In the Gaza Strip, three Palestinians, including a child, were killed and ten others injured after an Israeli strike targeted a vehicle in the Al‑Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, a zone previously designated as a “safe area” by the Israeli military.
The latest death raises the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza since the October 11, 2025 “ceasefire” period to 674, with more than 1,764 wounded and 756 bodies recovered from beneath destroyed buildings during that same timeframe.
Broader cumulative figures since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, now stand at 72,249 killed and 171,888 injured, reflecting the scale of destruction and the sustained intensity of military operations across the Strip.
