Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions, assaults, and military violations across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, targeting multiple towns, villages, and refugee camps in the Ramallah, Bethlehem, Hebron, Salfit, and Jenin districts.
In the central West Bank, a Palestinian man was injured after Israeli forces severely beat him during an invasion of al‑Bireh, adjacent to Ramallah.
Local sources said Israeli soldiers invaded several neighborhoods in the city and assaulted a young man, causing injuries that required medical attention.
In a related incident, Israeli forces invaded the nearby village of Surda, north of Ramallah, and installed a sudden military roadblock, obstructing the movement of residents and vehicles and causing a major traffic jam.
Israeli forces also invaded the village of Ni‘lin, west of Ramallah, where protests took place after soldiers deployed heavily throughout the village.

Troops fired large quantities of toxic tear gas in residential areas, leading to widespread suffocation among residents. Ni‘lin continues to face repeated invasions involving home break‑ins and the abduction of residents.
In the same district, Israeli forces invaded the village of Burqa and the town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah, deploying military units throughout both communities. No abductions were reported, but residents noted that eastern Ramallah villages face near‑daily invasions accompanied by military movements inside residential areas.

In related news, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out additional attacks the governorate. Colonizers cut down several olive trees belonging to a Palestinian resident of Deir Abu Mash‘al, northwest of Ramallah.
Shortly afterward, Israeli forces invaded the village, firing toxic tear gas in multiple areas and triggering confrontations with local youths. Deir Abu Mash‘al, like many villages in the Ramallah and al‑Bireh district, faces ongoing attacks by both Israeli forces and colonizers targeting agricultural land and civilian property.

In the southern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded Bethlehem and several surrounding areas. Security sources reported that troops deployed in Bab al‑Zqaq, Jerusalem–Hebron Street, and the northern entrance of the city.
Soldiers also invaded the Aida and al‑‘Azza refugee camps north of Bethlehem, as well as the city of Beit Jala and the town of al‑Khader, where they fired gas bombs in the al‑Balou‘ neighborhood.

Local sources said Israeli forces spread through the refugee camp, destroyed surveillance cameras belonging to local shops, broke into homes, and assaulted residents.
Soldiers fired live ammunition during confrontations, injuring two young men in the legs, and prevented ambulance crews from reaching them, in addition to abducting three young men.
In the northern West Bank, a Palestinian woman was injured when an Israeli military vehicle rammed her car near the village of al-Kafriyat, west of Jenin.
Medical sources said the 35‑year‑old woman suffered a shoulder dislocation and was transferred to Jenin Governmental Hospital for treatment.
Israeli forces also continued a large‑scale invasion of Bir al‑Basha, south of Jenin in the northern West Bank, which began at dawn on Wednesday.
Local sources reported that soldiers broke into and searched approximately 50 homes, destroying property and interrogating residents in the streets.
Infantry units were deployed throughout the village, and later in the evening, Israeli forces closed the entrances to the nearby towns of ‘Ajjah and ‘Anza, obstructing the movement of Palestinian vehicles.
These widespread invasions and colonizer attacks reflect an ongoing escalation across the occupied West Bank, where Palestinian communities continue to face systematic military operations, home break‑ins, land destruction, and movement restrictions.
