Israeli forces invaded cities, towns, and villages across the occupied West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, overnight and at dawn Friday, abducting Palestinians and breaking into homes and residential buildings. The invasions coincided with attacks by Israeli colonizers, particularly in the Nablus governorate.

Update: During the invasions the soldiers detained and interrogated many Palestinians before abducting six; Mohammad Bassam Salah, Laith Mohammad al-Marwan Abu Omar, and Mohammad Baha Abdul-Majid Daghlas, from Nablus, Mohammad Abdul-Karim Turkman from Jenin, Odai Basem al-Khatib from Qalqilia, and Mohammad Amin az-Zghayyar, from Hebron.

In the Nablus governorate, in the northern West Bank, colonizers attacked Palestinian homes in Awarta, south of Nablus, fired live rounds, damaged residents’ vehicles, and detained three young men inside a tent the colonizers had erected near the village. They also detained a 17-year-old boy during the attack, as Israeli forces invaded the village.

In the Jabal al-Arma area of Beita, south of Nablus, Israeli soldiers prevented residents from harvesting olives and fired gas bombs toward farmers, while colonizers fired live rounds toward them. The incident took place shortly after a group of Israeli colonizers attacked the Palestinians in their orchards.

In the Salfit governorate, in the central West Bank, Israeli colonizers and occupation forces continued attacking farmers in several towns and villages on Friday morning, coinciding with the olive harvest season.
