Abduction in the Northeastern West Bank
In the Tubas area in the northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted a young man from the northern Jordan Valley.
Kamal Bani Odah, director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society office in Tubas, stated that the soldiers abducted Lutfi Mohammad Bani Odah from the Khirbet al-Hadidiya area while he was herding livestock near his family’s tents.

Later in the evening, Israeli forces invaded the village of Aboud, northwest of Ramallah in the central West Bank, and abducted two 15‑year‑old boys: Ibrahim Najm Mahmoud Abdul-Majid and Taysir Nader Ja’idi.
Media sources stated that the soldiers abducted the children during the invasion of the village.
Invasions west of Ramallah
Israeli forces also invaded the villages of Shibtin and Shuqba, west of Ramallah in the central West Bank, deploying across several neighborhoods.

Invasion of Beita in the Northern West Bank
Israeli forces invaded the town of Beita, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank, firing live ammunition and toxic tear gas, which triggered protests.
Colonizers’ Assaults in the Northern Jordan Valley
Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked Palestinian tents in the Hammamat al‑Maleh area of the northern Jordan Valley, attempting to steal livestock from nearby enclosures.
