In the early hours of Monday, Israeli occupation forces launched extensive invasions across multiple areas of the northern and central occupied West Bank, abducting several Palestinian civilians, enforcing punitive closures, and demolishing civilian property.
In Qalqilia governorate, in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces stormed Baqat al-Hatab village from its main entrance, ransacked several homes, and abducted two residents—Sami Bata and Saed al-Hukkam.
In a parallel invasion, troops invaded the nearby village of Hajjah, east of Qalqilia, patrolled its streets, instilling fear among residents, although no arrests were reported.
Meanwhile, the entrance to the village of Kafr Laqif remains sealed for the 18th consecutive day by a metal gate, forcing residents to use rough dirt tracks to access their homes and workplaces.
In occupied Jerusalem, undercover Israeli soldiers kidnapped a young Palestinian man at the main entrance of Anata town, northeast of the city, and took him to an unknown location.
In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted former political prisoner Mohammad Bashir Abu Ar-Rob from Qabatia town after raiding a home in nearby Marka.
In the Nablus district, in the northern West Bank, the army blocked an agricultural road connecting Sebastia and Burqa, cutting off access to Palestinian pasturelands.
Additional invasions were reported in Balata refugee camp, where forces abducted recently released former prisoner Fahed Sawalihi after storming his home. They also ransacked the homes of former political prisoner Hamida Marshoud and Atallah Issa.
In addition, in the Khirbet at-Tawil community near Aqraba town, south of Nablus, Israeli forces demolished five residential sheds, four agricultural structures, barns, and toilets.
In the southern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, where they raided homes across the ath-Thaher, al-Qurna, and at-Turbiqa neighborhoods.
Three residents, Mohammad Saadi Bahar (40), Bilal Harbi Abu Ayyash (27), and Wadea’ Mohammad Awad (21), were abducted during the operation. Soldiers also confiscated three vehicles belonging to the detainees.
Simultaneously, the Israeli military erected military roadblocks at the entrances of several towns, villages, and refugee camps throughout Hebron governorate, using iron gates, concrete blocks, and earthen mounds to seal off access.
In related news, the soldiers demolished a large commercial facility in the town of ath-Thaheriyya, south of Hebron.
The structure, spanning approximately 1,500 square meters, included four operational shops covering 750 square meters and a second floor under construction of equal size.
According to the property owner, Sufian al-Jabarin, the army, accompanied by heavy machinery, invaded the main road connecting the village of ‘Ennab to the town of al-Ramadin, both located southwest of ath-Thaheriyya, before carrying out the demolition. The surrounding retaining walls were also bulldozed during the operation.
Israeli forces subsequently sealed off the road leading to the shops and prevented Palestinian civilians from approaching the area throughout the process.
In Silwad, northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank, soldiers demolished retaining walls and water wells belonging to local resident Abdul-Karim Abdul-Latif Ayyad.
These violations have deepened the hardships facing Palestinian residents, further impeding movement and access to essential services.
Thet are part of a broader pattern of militarized control and collective punishment employed across the occupied West Bank, where abductions, property seizures, demolitions, and road closures are routinely used to repress and displace Palestinian communities.
