Israeli occupation forces carried out widespread invasions, abductions, assaults, demolitions, land bulldozing, and movement restrictions across multiple governorates of the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, while illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers displaced fifteen Palestinian families near Jericho.
Israeli forces invaded several areas across Hebron in the southern West Bank and abducted ten Palestinians after breaking into their homes, searching them, and ransacking their contents.
Update: The soldiers abducted a young man from his home in the town of al-Tur, east of occupied Jerusalem.
Media sources said the abducted men from Yatta are Ibrahim al‑Hathalin (head of the Kashm ad‑Daraj Village Council), Hamza Rib’ey al‑Yatim, Bara’ Bilal Rib’ey, Raed Ibrahim Mohammad, Huthaifa Ibrahim al‑Herini, Shadi Na’im ‘Amr, Eyad Khalil ‘Amr, Issa Salah al‑‘Amour, and Osama al‑Hamamda. In Ethna, west of Hebron, soldiers abducted Bassel Majed Tmeiza.
Israeli forces also installed multiple military roadblocks at the entrances of Hebron city, its towns, villages, and refugee camps, and closed several main and secondary roads with metal gates, concrete blocks, and earth mounds, further restricting movement.
In Tulkarem in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the Shweika neighborhood and abducted Osama ‘Abed Rabbo after breaking into his home. Soldiers also confiscated his vehicle.
In the nearby town of Zeita, soldiers assaulted Firas al‑Jad’a during an invasion of his home, causing injuries that required hospital treatment.
A large military force then invaded Zeita and the neighboring town of Qaffin, stormed dozens of homes, damaged property during violent searches, and subjected residents to field interrogations.
Soldiers abducted Abdullah Fathi al‑Raja from Qaffin, held him for several hours, and later released him while keeping his vehicle.
Residents said soldiers left written threats warning against approaching the Annexation Wall or attempting to cross into areas inside Israel, threatening live fire, imprisonment, and heavy fines.
Israeli forces also invaded the Thannaba suburb east of Tulkarem, patrolled its main streets—especially around the Old Mosque—and deployed military vehicles in the southern part of the city while firing stun grenades.
Heavy gunfire was heard inside Tulkarem refugee camp, which has been under a strict siege for 381 consecutive days.
In Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted four Palestinians after invading and searching their homes: Ahmad Ibrahim Suwwan and Jamal ‘Abed Mohammad Shakhtour from the al‑Fawaghra area in central Bethlehem, Anas Azmi Salahat from Beit Ta’mir, and Ahmad Osama Sabah from Tuqu’.
In Ramallah in the central West Bank, dozens of soldiers invaded the al‑Jalazone refugee camp north of the city, ransacked homes, and abducted Mahdi Wajeeh Ramahi, 55, his brother Wahbi, 28, and Samih Ahmad Shatat, 20.
In Nablus in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the city and stormed several homes in Balata refugee camp, abducting Ahmad Mousa Masimi, Ibrahim Riyad, and Fadi Walwil. In the Dahiya area, soldiers abducted Mohannad Fares Fawaz after breaking into and searching his home.
In Sebastia, northwest of Nablus, Mayor Mohammad Azem said soldiers abducted Yasser Maher Sharid after breaking into his home and damaging its contents.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces abducted a young woman, Maha Refa’ey, from the town of ‘Anata northeast of the city.
Also in the Jerusalem district, military vehicles and bulldozers invaded the village of al‑Judeira, northwest of the city, and demolished walls and an agricultural room.
In the northern Jordan Valley in the northeastern West Bank, two Palestinians were injured after illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers sprayed them with pepper spray during an attack in Khirbet Samra. The injured were transferred to the health clinic in the nearby village of Ein al‑Beida.
Also, the army seized a water tanker in the northern Jordan Valley, preventing it from delivering water to Palestinian communities.
Mahdi Daraghma, head of the al‑Maleh Village Council, said the soldiers stopped and seized a tanker belonging to the council while it was transporting water to residents in Khirbet al‑Hadidiya.
The area relies heavily on transported water due to ongoing Israeli restrictions that prevent Palestinian communities from accessing local water sources.
Daraghma noted that the seizure further undermines the community’s ability to meet basic needs, particularly as residents face repeated invasions, movement restrictions, and ongoing pressure aimed at displacing them from the area.
In Jericho in the eastern West Bank, Israeli colonizers displaced fifteen Palestinian families and bulldozed their lands in the ad‑Dyouk at‑Tahta area, which has faced escalating violations.
Residents reported a sharp rise in colonizer attacks since early this month, particularly after colonizers erected a tent as the nucleus of a new pastoral outpost near Palestinian homes.
These incidents reflect a broad escalation in Israeli military operations and colonizer violence across the occupied West Bank, deepening restrictions on movement and intensifying pressure on Palestinian communities already facing daily invasions, land seizures, and threats of displacement
