Israeli forces continued their operations in the southern area of Hebron for the third consecutive day, carrying out widespread home invasions at dawn on Wednesday and abducting seven Palestinians amid cold and rainy weather conditions.
Media sources said Israeli soldiers invaded several neighborhoods in southern Hebron, stormed homes, searched them extensively, and ransacked their contents before abducting Sbeih Ghaleb Abu Hamdiya Gheith, Ahmad Saber Barqan, Abdul‑Mu’izz Abdul‑Aziz Abu Turki, Ya’qub Yahya Rajabi, Ali Rajabi, and Tamer Taleb Al‑Ajlouni.
In the town of Surif, northwest of Hebron, soldiers also abducted Musab Khalil Ghoneimat after assaulting him and the others with severe beatings before taking them to an undisclosed location.
The same sources confirmed that Israeli forces have maintained a tight closure over the southern part of Hebron for three days, blocking several secondary roads with iron gates, concrete blocks, and earth mounds. Troops also carried out additional home invasions, vandalized property, destroyed numerous Palestinian vehicles, and assaulted residents during searches.
In parallel, Israeli forces installed multiple military roadblocks at the entrances to Hebron’s towns, villages, and refugee camps, while closing several main and secondary roads with iron gates, concrete barriers, and dirt mounds, further restricting movement across the district.
During these invasions, an Israeli military bulldozer slipped and lost control in the city of Hebron. Witnesses said soldiers attempted to recover the bulldozer as it slid down an embankment, prompting a wider military deployment around the site.
Meanwhile, kidney patients in Hebron have been unable to reach hospitals for life‑sustaining dialysis treatment as the Israeli‑imposed curfew continues to block movement and prevent ambulances from entering affected neighborhoods. Local medical sources report that several patients have already missed scheduled dialysis sessions after Israeli forces sealed off multiple areas and barred emergency vehicles from accessing them.
Families say they have been unable to transport their relatives by private car due to the strict curfew and the presence of military checkpoints.
Doctors warn that missing dialysis sessions places patients at immediate risk of dangerous fluid buildup, electrolyte imbalance, and potentially fatal complications. Medical crews have appealed for safe passage, stressing that the restrictions are endangering lives.
On Tuesday, Israeli forces demolished a citizen’s home in Hebron, amid the ongoing large-scale incursion into the city.
