Israeli occupation forces launched coordinated invasions across multiple areas of the occupied West Bank on Saturday, abducting children and other civilians, causing many injuries, assaulting families, and enabling armed attacks by illegal paramilitary colonizers.
In Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, Israeli military vehicles invaded several neighborhoods, and closed streets, leading to protests.
The soldiers fired live rounds and gas bombs, causing many Palestinians to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation.
In Tubas, northeastern West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the village of Tayasir, abducting two boys—Amjad Hussam Sbeih (14) and Ghaith Ahmad Sbeih (15)—during a nighttime incursion.
The invasion of Tubas and its surrounding villages left 17 Palestinians injured, including 13 from tear gas inhalation, three from falls, and one from physical assault, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
In Salfit, central West Bank, occupation forces stormed the town of Az-Zawiya, abducting Ghassan Ribhi Shaqqour Moqadi after raiding his home.
In occupied Jerusalem, a young man was abducted from Salahuddin Street and taken to an interrogation center near Bab al-Amoud.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces invaded Qalandia refugee camp, north of the city, deploying across its streets and alleys.
Early on Saturday morning, Israeli occupation forces abducted at least 16 Palestinians during a large-scale military invasion of Anata town, northeast of occupied Jerusalem.
In Hebron, southern West Bank, three children were abducted from Beit Ummar, near the entrance to Wadi al-Sheikh, while working with a local farmer.
The children were identified as Saif Mohammad Salem Al-Alami (15), Mahmoud Nazeeh Mseif Sabarna (15), and Odai Raed Ezzat Awad.
Later that day, armed illegal Israeli colonizers attacked a Palestinian family in Bir Arka, west of Hebron. The assailants, heavily armed and shielded by Israeli forces, beat Saadi Abdul-Afu Al-Qawasma, his wife, children, and grandchildren after stopping their vehicle.
One son was shot at and severely beaten before escaping. The family was temporarily detained during the assault and later released.
In Ramallah, central West Bank, Israeli forces invaded the village of Al-Mughayyir, abducting Kareem Naji Abu Alia after raiding his home.
Live ammunition and tear gas were fired during the incursion. Earlier that evening, illegal colonizers attacked the southern part of the village, beating a young man and causing bruises.
In the northern Jordan Valley, illegal paramilitary colonizers invaded Khirbet Samra, harassing residents and roaming between tents to provoke and intimidate.
Locals report near-daily invasions, with colonizers attacking homes, chasing shepherds, expelling them from grazing lands, and stealing livestock.
These incidents reflect an intensifying pattern of military-backed colonizer violence and child abductions across the occupied West Bank, amid growing international concern over Israel’s escalating violations of international law.
