Israeli occupation forces carried out coordinated invasions across several towns in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, abducting multiple Palestinians and intensifying restrictions on movement and access to agricultural lands.
In Tulkarem, in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli soldiers stormed the Shweika suburb and the town of Qaffin, ransacking homes before abducting Mahmoud Abdul-Karim Ajjouli and Mohammad Wasfi Harsha from Qaffin, and Mazouz Ja’roun from Shweika.
In Salfit, central West Bank, military vehicles invaded Deir Ballout, west of the city, where soldiers broke into numerous homes and abducted Mohammad Falah Mousa, Qais Adel Abdullah, and Ibrahim Ramzi Mustafa.
Meanwhile, Azzoun town, east of Qalqilia in northern West Bank, continues to face dangerously escalating assaults by fanatic Israeli paramilitary colonizers residing in illegal outposts on stolen Palestinian land.
In Hebron, southern West Bank, soldiers ransacked homes and abducted Bilal Mohammad Qawasma. They also installed roadblocks at the city’s main entrances and closed key roads to surrounding villages, towns, and refugee camps using iron gates and concrete barriers.
In Ramallah, central West Bank, the army closed the main entrance to Turmus Ayya, north of the city, sealing its iron gate and preventing Palestinians from entering or leaving through that route.
Also in Ramallah, the soldiers invaded the town of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of the city and initiated searches.
The invasion came hours after the colonizers invaded the town, attacked Palestinians and their homes, causing injuries among the residents and property damage, in addition to burning three Palestinian cars.
In nearby Al-Bireh city, the soldiers abducted Ammar Khodeiri, from his home in the Al-Baloa’ neighborhood, after they stormed and searched the property.
In Jenin, in northern West Bank, several military vehicles invaded Anza village, south of the city, before the soldiers searched homes and abducted Hamad Aahed Sadaqa.

In related developments, the Village Council in Douma, south of Nablus in northern West Bank, reported that Israeli occupation authorities continue to prevent Palestinians from accessing their olive orchards.
Suleiman Dawabsha, head of the council, stated that illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers are intensifying their violations—stealing olive harvests, destroying agricultural structures, cutting, and uprooting trees, damaging water lines, and allowing their livestock to graze on Palestinian lands.
