RAMALLAH, (PIC)– The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnapped at dawn Monday 15 Palestinian citizens in different West Bank areas and clashed with some young men who tried to prevent the soldiers from detaining their friends.
In Beit Ummar village to the north of Al-Khalil, the IOF kidnapped two young men identified as Mahmoud Awad and Maysar Abu Mariya.
The IOF also kidnapped two Palestinians from their homes near Bethelehem and three others in Beit Jala town and Yabad town near Jenin.
Three others young men were also taken prisoners during raids on the refugee camps of Balata and Askar.
The IOF also kidnapped four young men after they claimed that one of its military patrols came under fire in Azzun town to the east of Qalqiliya city.
Local sources from Jenin reported that scores of Israeli troops aboard 12 military vehicles stormed Yabad town at three o’clock at dawn and violently ransacked the house of a young man named Nouraddin Atatreh before taking him in chain to an unknown place.
Furthermore, the IOF maltreated and humiliated on the same day Palestinian women and their children after intercepting cars and buses they were aboard.
A Palestinian security official told Quds Press that the IOF set up a checkpoint at the entrance to Al-Khalil city near the bypass road known as Highway 60, stopped all passing vehicles and forced the passengers including women and children to get out and stand in long lines for search.
Such behavior raised the ire of the Palestinian passengers, especially since the IOF usually order the men alone to step out of the vehicles without the women and children.
