Israeli soldiers invaded, on Monday at dawn, many Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank, before violently searching them, causing damage, and abducted six Palestinians, including the father of a child who was killed by the army in March of 2019. The soldiers also abducted one Palestinian on Sunday evening.

Several army jeeps invaded Nablus city, in northern West Bank, searched homes and abducted Ala’ Hmeidan, from his home in the al-Ma’ajeen neighborhood.

Many Palestinians protested the invasion and violent searches of homes, and hurled stones at the invading soldiers who fired a few live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

The soldiers also invaded the home of a former legislator, Yasser Mansour, in Nablus city, and caused damage to its front area, including the main door.

Furthermore, the soldiers invaded Jama’in town, south of Nablus, before storming and searched several homes.

In addition, many army jeeps invaded Zabbouba village, west of the northern West Bank city of Jenin, and searched homes, causing damage. The army used military dogs during the invasions into the properties.
