Israeli forces invaded communities across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, abducting Palestinians, breaking into homes, establishing military roadblocks, and restricting travel, while Israeli colonizers attacked residents, property, livestock, and agricultural land.
In Hebron, in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted eight Palestinians from Ad-Duqaiqah in the Yatta wilderness after colonizers attacked residents and attempted to steal livestock.
The abductees were identified as Nasser Ahmad Nasser an-Najada, Abdul-Rahman Mohammad Khaled an-Najada, Suleiman Mahmoud Mohammad Ka’abna, Mohammad Suleiman Odah an-Najada, Yousef Ahmad Mohammad Kaabna, Mohammad Raad Abdul-Karim Amer, Odah Salem Khaled an-Najada, and his son, Salem.
Colonizers also cut the water line serving Ad-Duqaiqah, depriving approximately 700 residents of water, and attacked Khairy Abu Tuhfa’s home in Khallet al-Hummus, south of Yatta, assaulting his family and foreign solidarity activists.
In Tulkarem, in the northwestern West Bank, soldiers invaded Deir al-Ghusun and abducted former political prisoner Ibrahim Alaa Omar after breaking into his home. Forces also invaded central Tulkarem, Illar, Saida, Shweika, and Attil, stopped Palestinians for field interrogation, and abducted Karim Amjad Abu Hafitha in Illar.
Soldiers established a military roadblock beneath the Jabara Bridge at Tulkarem’s southern entrance, stopped and searched vehicles, and obstructed traffic. Earlier, they closed the iron gates beneath the bridge for several hours before reopening them.
In Tubas, in the northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted three Palestinians who were grazing livestock in ar-Ras al-Ahmar, southeast of the city.
In Ramallah, in the central West Bank, soldiers invaded Deir Abu Mashal, Silwad, Deir Dibwan, Al-Mughayyir, Abu Falah, and the area surrounding Al-Jalazone refugee camp.
Forces fired tear gas in Deir Abu Mashal and repeatedly invaded Abu Falah, where they broke into homes, assaulted residents, and held others for interrogation. A military roadblock at the entrance to Turmus Ayya stopped and searched vehicles and impeded travel.
Colonizers attacked Palestinians with pepper spray near Al-Mughayyir, causing suffocation injuries that were treated at the scene, and damaged a village council ambulance responding to the incident.
They also fired live rounds toward homes in the village. Israeli forces later broke into two homes, detained and interrogated members of one family; no abductions were reported.
In Burqa, east of Ramallah, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers stoned a home and set fire to its balcony before residents extinguished the blaze.
Colonizers also assaulted resident Waheed Taha Samrin with pepper spray and beat farmer Mohammad at-Tawil while he worked on his land in Deir Ibzi’, west of Ramallah. Other groups attacked Palestinian vehicles on the Ramallah–Nablus Road near the illegal Shilo colony.
In Bethlehem, in the southern West Bank, soldiers abducted Palestinians, including women and children, near the railway in Battir and released them several hours later.
Forces also established a military roadblock on the Za’atara Bridge, stopped and searched vehicles, and inspected passengers’ identification cards.
Colonizers chased shepherds in the Za’atara wilderness east of Bethlehem and released their livestock onto Palestinian land in Wadi Abu Najim, where the colonizers gathered near residents’ homes.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces invaded Hizma, deployed near schools, and established a military roadblock at the town’s entrance. Soldiers also fired tear gas from behind the separation wall toward Institute Street near Qalandia refugee camp.
In Salfit, in the central West Bank, forces invaded Deir Ballut, broke into homes, and abducted brothers Abdullah and Mahfouz Saher Khair, releasing them several hours later.
In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, colonizers cut down 30 guava trees belonging to Khaled Mohammad Amarna in Khirbet Farrasin near Ya’bad.
The colonizers also invaded Palestinian lands in the outskirts of Arraba town, southwest of Jenin, and roamed between Palestinian homes.
In Nablus, in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded Qusra, south of the city, while colonizers, accompanied by soldiers, moved among homes in Burin.
