Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions across the occupied West Bank early Tuesday, breaking into homes, assaulting residents, and abducting dozens of Palestinians in operations spanning Nablus, Qalqilia, Ramallah, and occupied Jerusalem. Additional assaults were reported in Bethlehem in the southern West Bank and Tubas in the northeastern West Bank.
In Nablus in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded Balata refugee camp east of the city, breaking into several homes belonging to the Ka’bi and Teeti families.
Local sources said soldiers assaulted residents during the invasion, injuring three Palestinians who were transferred to hospital for treatment.
The army abducted four residents from Balata refugee camp: Assem al‑Ka’bi, Mohammad al‑Teeti, Amir Abu Riyala, and Ahmad Rashid Abu Amsha.
Israeli forces also invaded Kafr Qalil, southeast of Nablus, where they abducted Younes Sabri al‑Qani after breaking into and searching his home.
In a separate invasion, soldiers abducted Mustafa al‑Shannar, a lecturer at An‑Najah National University, along with Ala’ Hmeidan from the al‑Ma’ajin neighborhood, and Ahmad Abu ar‑Reesh after invading al‑Ain refugee camp in central Nablus.
In Jenin in the northern West Bank, several Israeli military vehicles invaded Kafr Dan west of the city, storming and ransacking numerous homes before detaining and interrogating residents.
The soldiers then abducted eight Palestinians, identified as Osama Nayef Mer’ey, Rayyan al‑Qarout, Qussai Mohammad al‑Ali, Sheikh Walid Abu Jandal, Mahmoud Samir Salah, Amro Rashed Salah, Odai Abu Nimir, and Bilal al‑Farid.
In Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted four Palestinians, including a woman and her daughter, after invading multiple neighborhoods in the city.
The soldiers broke into homes and abducted Ammar Khader, Jamal Dawoud, Zahra Khadraj, and her daughter Yaqeen Abdul‑Latif Abu Safaqa. Troops also caused extensive damage to the home of Abdul Mon’em Affana and another belonging to the Hilal family.
The army invaded Qalqilia from its eastern and southern areas and deployed across several neighborhoods—including Zaid, Juaidi, al‑Qar’an, and Kafr Saba—before withdrawing through the northern entrance after more than four hours.
In Ramallah in the central West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the al‑Tira neighborhood and abducted two Palestinians.
Troops also invaded the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah, breaking into several homes. In a related measure, the army closed the iron gate at the entrance of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, effectively sealing the town and restricting movement.
In Salfit, also in central West Bank, Israeli forces removed the Palestinian flag from the roof of the Rafat Village Council building west of the city, after invading the area on Tuesday.
Local sources reported that several military vehicles surrounded the council premises before soldiers advanced toward the building and forcibly took down the flag, preventing residents and staff from approaching.
Community members described the incident as part of a broader campaign aimed at restricting Palestinian civic life and suppressing national symbols, noting that similar actions have recently targeted public institutions across the West Bank.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces invaded Qalandia refugee camp north of the city, breaking into several homes and abducting Jihad Hammad and his mother Sara Hammad after ransacking their property.
Also in occupied Jerusalem, Israeli police and municipal crews invaded a plot of land in al‑Isawiya, northeast of the city, and confiscated several parked vehicles without notifying their owners.
In Silwan, south of Al‑Aqsa Mosque, Israeli soldiers and police officers set up a military roadblock in the Ras al‑Amoud neighborhood, stopping and searching Palestinian vehicles and issuing fines to drivers.
In Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces attacked schoolchildren in the Old City of al‑Khader. During the invasion, the soldiers fired tear‑gas canisters and stun grenades at students in the al‑Tal area as they walked to school.
Troops then blocked access routes and chased students through alleyways, causing panic among children.
In Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, the Education Directorate reported that illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked al‑Maleh Elementary School, breaking the administration office door in yet another assault targeting education in the Jordan Valley.
Late Monday night, a Palestinian woman was injured when Israeli occupation forces assaulted residents in the Hammamat al‑Maleh area of the northern Jordan Valley.
Mahdi Daraghma, head of the al‑Maleh village council, said a military force invaded the community’s displacement tents and assaulted residents, injuring one woman who was transferred to the medical center in Ain al‑Baida for treatment.
