Israeli occupation forces carried out multiple invasions across the occupied West Bank on Saturday evening , storming a wedding hall in the town of Doha west of Bethlehem, invading two additional communities in Hebron and Ramallah, and firing tear gas that caused dozens of Palestinians to suffer from inhalation injuries. Local journalists reported that an Israeli military force invaded the town of Doha, west of Bethlehem, in the evening and stormed the Balqees Wedding Hall, sealing off the surrounding area. |Colonizers Injure Two Women, Expand Attacks Across West Bank| No arrests were reported, but witnesses said soldiers blocked movement around the hall and prevented residents from approaching to celebrate the wedding. In the Hebron district, dozens of Palestinians suffered from tear gas inhalation after Israeli soldiers invaded the town of Beit Ummar, north of the city. |Leaders Condemn Grave Desecration, Exhumation in Jenin| Mohammad Awad, a local media activist, said soldiers fired large quantities of tear gas and stun grenades at residents and homes, causing widespread suffocation among civilians, including children and elderly people. Medical teams treated the cases on-site. |Israeli Forces Invade Several Areas In West Bank| Israeli forces also invaded the village of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah, in another evening attack. Local sources said soldiers fired tear gas canisters throughout the village during the incursion. No injuries or arrests were reported. Saturday’s evening raids came only hours after earlier invasions in several West Bank districts, including Bethlehem, Hebron, and Ramallah. The repeated incursions throughout the day reflect a broader escalation in Israeli military activity, with forces storming civilian areas, firing tear gas, and disrupting daily life across multiple towns.
