Dozens of soldiers invaded Beit Ummar and conducting military searches of homes. Soldiers closed the eastern entrance of the town, and also closed the main Jerusalem-Hebron Road.

The army also invaded al-Arroub refugee camp, searched a number of homes and interrogated several residents.

An Israeli army spokesperson told the Maan News Agency that the invasions were carried out after a Molotov cocktail was hurled at a military vehicle. No damage or injuries were reported.

On Monday at dawn, Israeli soldiers kidnapped 17 Palestinians during pre-dawn invasions targeting al-Bireh city near Ramallah, Jenin city, Bethlehem and Hebron.
