Israeli forces abduct Palestinian professor of political science in West Bank raid
Israeli forces have abducted a Palestinian academic during a midnight raid in the city of al-Khalil, south of the occupied West Bank, Palestinian media reported.
Israeli forces stormed the city, raided and searched the home of Bilal Al-Shobaki, and abducted him after assaulting him during the offensive, WAFA reported on Sunday.
Al-Shobaki is a political analyst and serves as head of the Political Science Department at Hebron University.
Israeli forces abduct three brothers
In another raid on Sunday morning in the village of Qira, in the central West Bank province of Salfit, Israeli forces abducted three brothers.
WAFA, quoting local sources, reported that Israeli forces stormed the village, raided the Bakr family home, and conducted a search that lasted more than two hours.
Israeli forces then abducted three brothers, Udai, Saddam, and Hasan Adel Bakr, after the raid.
During the raid, soldiers inflicted widespread damage and destruction on their house.
Settlers attack Palestinian vehicles
Moreover, Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles on Sunday shortly after midnight south of Bethlehem, causing panic among passengers there, WAFA reported, quoting local and Palestinian security sources.
A group of settlers gathered at the junction leading to the settlement of Efrat, which is built on Palestinian land, blocked the main road, and threw stones at passing vehicles, causing panic among motorists in the area, the report said.
On Saturday, settlers attacked a Palestinian man, his son, and two women while they were present on their land in the town of Al-Khader.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on May 25 that Israeli military attacks, demolitions, and settler violence in the occupied West Bank continue to cause widespread displacement and destruction of civilian property.
In its June update, OCHA documented more than 950 settler-related incidents across over 230 Palestinian communities, resulting in injuries, loss of homes, and damage to farmland and water infrastructure.
The agency also highlighted repeated Israeli military raids and movement restrictions that further fragment Palestinian communities and severely limit access to basic services.
Since October 7, 2023, when Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 1,155 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, wounded around 11,750 others, and abducted approximately 22,000 people, according to Palestinian official figures.
