Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions and abductions across the occupied West Bank at dawn on Friday, targeting communities in Ramallah in the central West Bank, where the soldiers shot a child, Hebron in the southern West Bank, Nablus in the northern West Bank, and Jenin in the northern West Bank, according to local and security sources.
In Kafr Malik, east of Ramallah, Israeli forces abducted three children—Adam Mohammad Husni, Aziz Shadi Hossam, and Muath Na’im Mashhour—after invading their families’ homes, searching them, and damaging their contents.
Residents said troops had already invaded the village the previous night from the direction of Jabal al‑‘Asur, forcing shops to close, sealing all entrances, and obstructing the movement of residents attempting to leave or enter.
Soldiers also bulldozed the village’s newly constructed road linking Kafr Malik with al‑Mazra‘a al‑Sharqiyah, after previously closing the older road leading to al‑‘Asur, causing extensive infrastructure damage.
Furthermore, the soldiers invaded Al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah, from several directions, leading to protests, and fired many live rounds, wounding a child in the chest.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli soldiers invaded the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, and abducted a young man.
In Beit Kahil, northwest of Hebron in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the town and abducted Issa Rami ‘Asafra and ‘Az Nasser ‘Asafra after breaking into their homes, searching them, and ransacking their belongings.
In Nablus, Israeli forces invaded several neighborhoods, including the New Nablus area, broke into homes, and abducted Abdul‑Saleh al‑Taqtuq. Another military unit invaded Beita, south of Nablus, and abducted Abdul‑Rahman Amjad Khudair after breaking into his home.
On Thursday night, Israeli forces opened fire on a Palestinian man near the entrance to Beita, injuring him in the foot and hand with live ammunition. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society Emergency Center in Nablus, soldiers prevented immediate medical access. Troops then abducted Islam Bani Shamsa from the same location.
In Meithalun, south of Jenin in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the town and abducted Suhaib Mohammad Younes Nua’irat. At the same time, Israeli forces pushed new military reinforcements—including armored vehicles—toward the Jenin refugee camp, amid heightened tensions in the area.
Furthermore, Israeli occupation forces invaded Nahalin, west of Bethlehem in the southern occupied West Bank, breaking into many homes, ransacking their contents, and interrogating dozens of residents for several hours while inspecting their identity cards.
These invasions and violations form part of a rapidly escalating Israeli campaign of abductions across the occupied West Bank, marked by daily incursions, the breaking into homes, and widespread intimidation of residents.
