Israeli occupation forces carried out multiple invasions, home incursions, abductions, and movement restrictions across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, targeting communities in occupied Jerusalem, Ramallah in the central West Bank, Hebron in the southern West Bank, Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, and Tubas in the northeastern West Bank.

In the town of Anata, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces invaded the Salam neighborhood, broke into three homes, destroyed their contents, and abducted Adam Issa Mitwer.

Local sources noted that, days earlier, Israeli bulldozers demolished a farm in the same town belonging to Jerusalem resident Iyas Dandis under the pretext of unlicensed construction.

Also in Jerusalem, the soldiers invaded the Salam area in Anata town, northeast of the city, and initiated massive searches.

Before dawn, Israeli forces invaded Beitunia, west of Ramallah in the central West Bank, broke into two homes, and abducted Abdullah Atta Qurt and Assem Atta Ibrahim after ransacking their properties.

In ath‑Thaheriya, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted journalist Yasser Jaradat while he was covering a peaceful protest opposing illegal colonialist expansion.

Troops fired tear gas at participants, causing several cases of inhalation‑related suffocation. The protest had been organized by farmers whose lands face the threat of confiscation for the benefit of a nearby settlement outpost.

Later in the day, Israeli forces invaded the center of ath‑Thaheriya again and opened live fire at residents and youths, injuring two young men in the legs.

Palestinian Red Crescent Society medics provided initial treatment at the ath‑Thaheriya health center before transferring the injured to a hospital in Hebron for further care.

In the Southern Hebron Hills, Israeli forces abducted Ibrahim Mahmoud Al‑Adra from the Upper Rajoum area in Masafer Yatta.

Activist Osama Makhmara stated that Israeli forces fired live ammunition and stun grenades while detaining several residents.

The protests unfolded as local families attempted to push back illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers who had released their livestock onto Palestinian‑owned lands near residential areas.

In addition, the army invaded Halhul town, north of Hebron, before the soldiers stormed and ransacked many homes and shops.

In Bethlehem, several military vehicles invaded the city and the Deheishe refugee camp, south of the city, before storming and ransacking homes. During the invasion, the soldiers abducted Bilal Al-Wahadna from his home.

In the northern Jordan Valley, within Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces abducted Mohammad Ali Bani Odah and his son Ali from their home in Khirbet Al‑Hadidiya, the director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society office in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odah, confirmed.

Meanwhile, east of Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, Israeli forces installed a military roadblock at the entrance to the village of Nabi Elias, stopping vehicles and inspecting passengers’ identification cards.

Witnesses reported that the military roadblock caused significant delays and prevented many residents from reaching their workplaces.
