Israeli occupation forces carried out massive invasions across the occupied West Bank, early on Thursday, breaking into homes, installing military roadblocks, and abducting Palestinians from multiple towns, cities, and refugee camps.
The largest invasion occurred in Hebron in the southern West Bank, where troops stormed residential areas and abducted eleven Palestinians from the town of Ethna, west of the city.
Media sources said many military vehicles invaded the town before the soldiers broke into numerous homes, searched them extensively, and damaged property before abducting Eyad Atiya Farajallah Ehab Nabil Abu Jheisha, Ali Abu Jheisha, Khattab Abu Jheisha and his son Suhaib, Bassam Al‑’Asoud, , Ahmad Tmeizi, Mohammad Al‑Sawayfa, Ibrahim Mohammad Al‑Sawayfa, and Moath Abdul‑Majid Al‑Jiawi.
Troops also invaded several neighborhoods in Hebron city and the nearby town of Sa’ir to the north, where they installed military roadblocks, stopped vehicles, and searched them. No additional abductions were reported in those areas.
In the Bethlehem district in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces installed a military roadblock at the western rural entrance to the governorate.
A local source said troops were positioned in the Al‑Shuli area on the main road leading to Battir, Nahalin, Husan, and Wadi Fukin, where they stopped vehicles, searched them, and inspected the IDs of Palestinian civilians, causing a severe traffic jam.
Residents noted that Israeli forces have intensified restrictions on the western Bethlehem villages in recent weeks, including repeated internal closures inside single population centers such as Husan.
Israeli forces also invaded Bethlehem city and abducted a young man, identified as 29‑year‑old Daniel Ramzi Jaqaman, after breaking into and searching his home.
In the nearby village of Husan, west of Bethlehem, Israeli forces demolished an agricultural room belonging to resident Rabee Mustafa Jaber in the Al‑Mashahid area near the village’s western entrance.

In the northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted a young man from the town of Aqaba, north of Tubas. The director of the Tubas branch of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society, Kamal Bani Odah, said the young man, Osama Yousef Abu Yousef, was abducted after being summoned for interrogation at the Salem military base.
