Israeli forces carried out widespread invasions across the occupied West Bank at dawn on Sunday, breaking into homes, abducting Palestinians, and deploying large military units in multiple districts, including Tulkarem, Qalqilia, Nablus, Jenin, Bethlehem, and Ramallah.
In Tulkarem, in the northwestern West Bank, soldiers invaded the town of Saida and abducted four young men after breaking into and searching their homes. They were identified as Ahmad Basel Makhlouf Ajaj, Amjad Raafat Ashqar, Moataz Amjad Naji Odah, and Ezz Eyad Ghaleb Ashqar.
In Qalqilia, in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the city from its eastern entrance, deployed in the Kafr Saba neighborhood and the Al‑Qar’an area, and fired live rounds indiscriminately, injuring a child with shrapnel.
Soldiers also fired tear‑gas canisters and stun grenades toward homes, causing multiple cases of suffocation.
In the nearby town of Azzun, forces conducted a two‑hour invasion, patrolling several neighborhoods and breaking into multiple homes, including the home of Ashraf Hussein.
In Nablus, in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted a formerly imprisoned woman, Aseel Al‑Titi, after breaking into her home in Balata refugee camp.
In a separate invasion, soldiers abducted Mohammad Basheer Barakat from Al‑Ein refugee camp after searching his home.
The soldiers also invaded the village of Kafr Qalil, southeast of Nablus, and initiated searches.
In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded several towns, including Al‑Kafeer, Meithalun, Al‑Zababdeh, Misilya, Sanur, and Arraba, firing tear‑gas canisters during their movements.
Also in Jenin, the army abducted a journalist from the town of Deir Abu Da’if, west of Jenin. The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society in Jenin reported that soldiers broke into and searched the home of journalist Farouq Omar Qassem Eleyyat, 44, before abducting him.
Eleyyat, a father of three children, is a former political prisoner who has been abducted several times by Israeli forces, most recently in 2016.
In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces, accompanied by personnel from the Israeli municipality, invaded the Al‑Bustan neighborhood in the town of Silwan, south of Al‑Aqsa Mosque, deploying heavily in the area.
Dozens of Palestinian families in Al‑Bustan face the threat of forced displacement from their homes in favor of colonizer organizations operating as part of a broader plan aimed at expelling residents and seizing land.
In Bethlehem, in the southern West Bank, soldiers abducted eight Palestinians from Khalayel Al‑Louz after breaking into and searching their homes. They were identified as Walid Mohammad Abu Kamil, Abdel Mohammad Abu Kamil, Ahmad Harbi Abu Kamil, Qusay Mahmoud Abu Kamil, brothers Anan and Aws Ahmad Abu Kamil, and Ziad Salem Salahat.
In a separate incident, forces abducted Mohammad Abdullah Abu Kaser after breaking into his home in the village of Al‑Rashayda. Soldiers also invaded the town of Husan and the Al‑Zeer–Harmala area east of Bethlehem.
In the Jordan Valley of the West Bank, Israeli forces abducted two siblings, Mohammad and Hussein Youssef Hussein Bisharat, from their family’s tents in the Khirbet Makhoul Beoduin community.
The two siblings had been assaulted the previous day by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers while working on their land in the same area.
In Ramallah, in the central West Bank, Israeli forces abducted Qusay Hammad from the Al‑Tireh neighborhood and Mahmoud Qaddah from the village of Shuqba.
Two others, Mahmoud Jihad Dar Saleh and Mohammad Riyad Dar Saleh, were abducted from the village of Aboud after soldiers broke into a commercial shop.
In Tireh, northeast of Ramallah, the soldiers stormed and ransacked several homes before abducting two young men, Mohammad Khaldoun Hajjo, 26, and Qussai Israr Hammad, 23.
In addition, the soldiers closed all iron gates leading to the villages and towns of the Bani Zeid al‑Gharbiya area, Nabi Saleh, Beit Rima, Deir Ghassana, and Aboud.
Soldiers further invaded the Um Al‑Sharayet neighborhood of Al‑Bireh and the village of Deir Ammar west of Ramallah.
The most extensive operation occurred in the village of Al‑Mughayyer, northeast of Ramallah, where Israeli forces have maintained a continuous presence since Saturday afternoon.
Soldiers broke into several homes, attacked mourners at the funeral tent of 14‑year‑old Mohammad Sa’ad Sami Naasan, killed by Israeli soldiers on Friday, and forcibly evacuated the family of Hamza Abu Alia before turning their home into a military post despite severe weather conditions.
The army also assaulted a child with disabilities, Nader Abu Alia, attempting to force him to walk despite his mobility impairment.
The prolonged invasion disrupted daily life and led to the suspension of school attendance. Al‑Mughayyer and surrounding villages have faced repeated attacks by Israeli forces and illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers, including the killing of the child Mohammad Al‑Nassan two days earlier.
