Israeli occupation forces abducted two Palestinian youths on Sunday evening after Israeli soldiers and illegal paramilitary colonizers invaded the village of Deir Jarir, located northeast of Ramallah in the central part of the occupied West Bank.

Fathi Hamdan, the head of the Deir Jarir village council, said the detainees, Mohammad Shadi Shujaieh and Elian Mo’ayyed Abu Mokho, were abducted at the western entrance of the village following an incursion by illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers.

Eyewitnesses reported that the colonizers, accompanied by Israeli military units, stormed the area while firing live ammunition.

The army subsequently sealed off the village entrance where the colonizers gathered, deploying stun grenades and tear gas against residents to force them away.

Earlier in the day, hundreds of mourners in Deir Jarir laid to rest 21-year-old Mohammad Issa Ahmad Alawi, who succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained during a previous confrontation involving Israeli forces and colonizers.

The incidents mark a continuation of escalating colonizer violence in the occupied West Bank, often conducted under the protection of Israeli military forces.

A 21-year-old Palestinian man died on Saturday from wounds sustained two days earlier in clashes with Israelis near the village of Deir Jarir, northeast of Ramallah, where he lived, the Palestinian Authority's Health Ministry said.

The head of the village council, Fathi Hamdan, said that Mohammad Issa Ahmad Alawi was wounded by IDF gunfire during clashes with soldiers near the road connecting the village to the nearby town of Silwad, as also reported by the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

However, the Health Ministry said he was shot by Israeil settlers, a version echoed by several Palestinian media outlets. His family and neighbors claimed he was shot amid escalating attacks and clashes in the area in recent weeks.

Last week, masked men set fire to vehicles and sprayed graffiti in the nearby Palestinian village of Atara. Messages such as "Ramot Revenge," alluding to the shooting attack in Jerusalem that killed six Israelis, and "Administrative Price Tag" were scrawled on the village's walls and gates. The acts were captured on the village's security cameras.

Earlier this month, some 30 Israeli settlers raided the village of Khallet al-Daba, south of Hebron, according to activists in the southern West Bank. The Red Crescent reported that three Palestinians, aged 84, 64 and 13, were wounded in the attack and taken to hospital for treatment.
