RAMALLAH (PIC)– Israeli occupation forces have rounded up 11 Palestinians overnight Monday and at dawn Tuesday in various West Bank areas and raided a local radio station in Nablus city.
The Hebrew radio reported that the IOF troops rounded up 8 Palestinians last night in the suburbs of Jenin Qalqilia and Bethlehem cities adding that they would be interrogated by the Israeli intelligence.
It added that a ninth Palestinian was kidnapped from his home in Jenin after midnight Monday after ransacking his family home.
Local sources in Nablus said that IOF troops stormed the village of Deir Sharaf west of Nablus city and summoned 8 Palestinians to the intelligence premises in Hawara army camp on Tuesday.
In Nablus city the IOF soldiers raided a number of suburbs at dawn Tuesday and retreated after kidnapping two young men.
Locals said that the soldiers broke into a number of homes and the Asia radio station detained its owners and his family who live in the same building and held two of its workers in one of the rooms before severing all contacts with the station which turned into military barracks according to its workers.
Meanwhile sources close to resistance factions in the Gaza Strip have warned that the IOF might escalate its aggression on the Strip especially after failure of talks with Egypt in concluding a calm agreement so far.
They noted that IOF warplanes were constantly flying over the Gaza skies and launching mock raids while IOF gunboats fired a number of projectiles at northern Gaza beaches on Tuesday in the latest series of attacks that turned into semi daily phenomenon since the all-out war on Gaza came to a unilateral halt last month.
