Israeli forces carried out widespread invasions, home break‑ins, abductions, and movement restrictions across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, targeting multiple areas in occupied Jerusalem, Ramallah in the central West Bank, Hebron in the southern West Bank, Salfit in the central West Bank, and Tulkarem in the northwestern West Bank.
In the Shu’fat refugee camp in northeastern occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces invaded the camp before dawn, broke into the home of Ayman Al‑Adawi, searched it, damaged its contents, and abducted him.
Troops also invaded a shop in the camp, seized merchandise, and caused extensive destruction inside the store.
In a separate incident, another military force invaded Kafr Aqab, north of occupied Jerusalem, deployed in its streets, and fired stun grenades, creating heightened tension among residents. No injuries were reported.
Towns and neighborhoods across occupied Jerusalem continue to face near‑daily invasions, home break‑ins, and abductions as part of ongoing restrictions imposed on the population.
Before dawn, Israeli forces also carried out a large‑scale invasion of the Ras Khamis area in northeastern occupied Jerusalem.
Dozens of soldiers, accompanied by military vehicles, spread through the neighborhood’s streets and alleys, broke into several homes, interrogated residents in the field, damaged property, and abducted five individuals.
In addition, several Israeli military jeeps invaded Tubas, in the northeastern West Bank, closed streets, and initiated searches.
In the central West Bank, Israeli forces invaded several villages northeast of Ramallah. Troops stormed the village of Al‑Mughayyer, firing stun grenades, breaking into multiple homes, and subjecting residents to searches and intimidation.
Forces also invaded the nearby villages of Kafr Malik and Abu Falah, where they stopped vehicles and searched them, before detaining several residents for hours under heavy rain and cold weather.
Meanwhile, the soldiers continued for a second consecutive day to close the main entrance to Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah.
Soldiers shut the metal gate installed at the town’s primary access point, used daily by thousands of residents, including those from nearby communities such as Abu Falah, Al‑Mughayyer, Al‑Mazra’a Al‑Sharqiya, and Turmus Ayya.
The closure has severely disrupted movement between surrounding villages and increased hardship for residents attempting to reach essential services.
In Tulkarem, in northwestern West Bank, several Israeli military vehicles invaded Jabal an-Nasr area, and started bulldozing and uprooting Palestinian lands.
In the southern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded Khirbet Al‑Mufaqara in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, where they abducted Mohammad Mahmoud Al‑Hamamda and confiscated his phone.
Troops also detained several residents, including children and women, after breaking into and searching homes.
Local activist, Osama Makhmara, stated that the invasion occurred as soldiers accompanied illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers who had released their livestock onto Palestinian‑owned land near residential areas.
In related news, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers assaulted a municipal water department crew on Tuesday in the town of Ethna, west of Hebron.
Abdul Rahman Tmeizi, the public relations director of the Idhna municipality, said colonizers from the nearby illegal colony, built on the town’s eastern lands, attacked Tareq Tmeizi, head of the water department, and employee Ahmad Basheer Salimiya while they were working to open water valves in the Dhikhrat Rajeh area. Both workers sustained bruises as a result of the assault.
In the central West Bank district of Salfit, Israeli forces detained several residents from the towns of Kifl Hares, Hares, and Deir Istiya near the Al‑‘Abbara area connecting Kifl Hares and Hares in the northwestern part of the governorate. Troops stopped passing vehicles, held residents for hours in the rain, and later released them.
The soldiers also invaded Palestinian lands in the ar-Ras area, northwest of Salfit, and bulldozed farmlands.
The incidents form part of a broader pattern of daily military activity across the occupied West Bank, involving invasions, home break‑ins, abductions, and movement restrictions affecting Palestinian communities.
