AL-KHALIL, (PIC)– The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Friday kidnapped three Palestinian young men and violently clashed with others during a large-scale campaign in Dura town, southwest of Al-Khalil city.
An eyewitness told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that a large number of Israeli troops aboard more than 13 military vehicles and armored carriers stormed the neighborhoods of Kanar, Agnim, Sharfa, and Ahnina as well as the central zone of Dura town.
He added that violent clashes broke out between the invading troops and Palestinian young men during the military campaign in these areas.
Several minor injuries were reported in the events.
The IOF also broke into and ransacked many homes in the raided areas, and kidnapped three young men from their homes in Al-Sharfa area.
The ferocity of the campaign caused a widespread panic among children and women, especially as some of the tear gas grenades fired by the IOF fell onto homes.
The residents of Dura town were exposed to a similar military campaign one day earlier.
In a separate incident, IOF soldiers kidnapped on Thursday evening a university student named Tha’er Amro at Za’tara checkpoint near Al-Khalil city after they searched his bag.
