Israeli occupation forces carried out multiple invasions, home break‑ins, abductions, and movement restrictions across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, targeting communities in the northern Jordan Valley, Bethlehem, Hebron in the southern West Bank, Salfit in the central West Bank, Jenin in the northern West Bank, Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, Ramallah in the central West Bank, and occupied Jerusalem.
In the northern Jordan Valley, three young men were abducted while working on their agricultural land in Khirbet al‑Hadidiya.
Human rights activist Aref Daraghma identified them as Ahmad and his brother Mohammad Abdullah Bani Odah, along with Aref Omar Bisharat.
Israeli forces also invaded several areas east of Bethlehem, including al‑Ubeidiya, al‑Shawawra, Dar Salah, and Za’atara, with no reported abductions.
In Hebron in the southern West Bank, soldiers abducted two men after invading the Jabal Johar area, stopping and searching civilian vehicles. The abducted men were identified as Wasim Monther Gheith and Omar Nadi Abu Hamdiya.
Soldiers also invaded Dura and ar‑Rihiya, breaking into homes belonging to the Sharha and al‑Tubassi families and ransacking their contents.
Later in the evening, Israeli soldiers shot and injured fifty‑year‑old Shaker Falah al‑Ja’bari in his car, in the Khallet Hadour area east of Hebron, then prevented ambulances and residents from reaching him before taking him into custody.
