Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions across the occupied West Bank late Monday and early Tuesday, targeting urban centers, refugee camps, schools, and private homes.
In Qalqilia, located in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli military vehicles invaded the city, concentrating their presence in the central market area, Shreim neighborhood, and the western district. No abductions or home invasions were reported. The soldiers also invaded the nearby town of Hajjah, east of Qalqilia.
In Nablus, in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces stormed the eastern part of the city at dawn Tuesday, including the Old and New Askar refugee camps and the vicinity of Balata refugee camp. Military vehicles roamed the streets, though no injuries or abductions were reported.
In Hebron, in the southern West Bank, Israeli troops invaded the towns of Ethna and Al-Kum, west of the city. In Ethna, soldiers stormed the home of Mahdi Mohammad Tmeizi, forcibly evicted its residents, and converted the property into a military outpost.
The soldiers fired gas bombs heavily at the town’s entrance, prompting the suspension of school attendance. In Al-Kum, forces similarly seized the home of Younis Hroub, turning it into a military base and obstructing movement for residents and schoolchildren.
In Ramallah and Al-Bireh, in the central West Bank, Israeli forces invaded several neighborhoods and surrounding villages.
In Ramallah’s Ein Misbah neighborhood, troops stormed the home of released detainee and Gaza deportee Essam Al-Froukh, ransacking its contents.
Military vehicles also invaded the Sateh Marhaba neighborhood in Al-Bireh. In the village of Deir Ibzi’, west of Ramallah, more than seven homes were invaded and their residents subjected to field interrogations. Additional invasions were reported in Ain Arik and Ni’lin, also west of Ramallah.
In Bethlehem, Israeli forces invaded Kisan School, east of the city, threatening the teaching staff with further invasions if they discussed Palestinian prisoners. The threats caused widespread panic among students.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces shot and wounded a young man in the town of Isawiya, northeast of the city, before abducting him.
On Monday, five Palestinian civilians sustained fractures and contusions after being violently assaulted by illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers in the town of Beit Fajjar, located south of Bethlehem.
