WEST BANK, (PIC)– The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnapped three Palestinian citizens, including a journalist, in the West Bank and bulldozed Palestinian lands in east Jerusalem.
Israeli special forces kidnapped on Sunday morning journalist Mohamed Asida, 28, after they intercepted a taxi he was traveling on near Nablus city.
Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that an Israeli special force aboard two Mercedes cars intercepted the taxi which came from Tal town, asked for Asida by name, checked his ID and then took him handcuffed and blindfolded to an unknown place.
They added that following the arrest of Asida, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed Tal town and ransacked his house.
Journalist Mohamed Asida was exposed to arrests by the Palestinian authority security forces and the IOF several times before.
In east Jerusalem, local sources reported that Israeli bulldozers escorted by soldiers started Sunday morning to bulldoze Palestinian lands in Khalat Al-Ein area, which is located between Attour neighborhood and Issawiya district, as a prelude to building roads connecting West Bank settlements with the holy city as part of the E-1 settlement plan.
The sources added that the Israeli soldiers at the scene arrested a Palestinian citizen from Issawiya district named Mohamed Abul-Hems as he was attempting along with other citizens to stop the Israelis from bulldozing the lands.
In a separate incident yesterday, violent clashes broke out between Palestinian young men and Israeli soldiers in Izariya town east of Jerusalem. The events continued until a late hour at night.
The IOF showered the angry young men with a hail of tear gas grenades causing many of them to suffer suffocation and arrested one of them.
