NABLUS (PIC)– Israeli occupation forces rounded up 11 citizens from the village of Arka west of Jenin at dawn Thursday following a raid described by locals as the most violent in history of the small town of only 2000 inhabitants.
Local sources said that the IOF troops clamped a curfew and asked all men in the village via loudspeakers to gather in the village’s main square where the soldiers scrutinized their IDs and detained 11 of them including a father and his son and four brothers.
Villagers said that the soldiers’ questions focused on providing shelter for wanted activists in the village.
The Hebrew media reported that the IOF troops rounded up 27 Palestinians in various West Bank areas at dawn Thursday.
