WEST BANK, (PIC)
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out at dawn Monday a large-scale raid and arrest campaign across the West Bank, resulting in the injury of four Palestinians and the arrest of many others.
In Nablus, four young men were wounded by IOF live bullets, while a fifth was arrested at the hands of IOF special forces in the old town of Nablus.
A local source reported that a number of Israeli military vehicles stormed the vicinity of the Old City in Nablus, after the Israeli special forces broke into the area, amid heavy gunfire and the spread of a score of snipers who occupied the rooftops of Palestinian homes and commercial stores, leading to the eruption of clashes with the IOF.
Meanwhile, the IOF demolished a house and a sheep pen in the village of Furush Beit Dajan, east of Nablus.
The head of the Furush Beit Dajan village council, Azem Haj Mohammad, said that the IOF accompanied by two bulldozers stormed the village and demolished a one-story house licensed for building since the 1980s, and a sheep pen owned by local resident Ameed Haj Mohammad.
He added that the IOF also notified Abbas Haj Mohammad, Azmi Haj Mohammad, and Ismail Sadiq Ismail of the demolition of their homes.
In Ramallah, local sources reported that the IOF arrested the released prisoner in the recent exchange deal and the student at Birzeit University, Dania Hanatshe, after storming her family’s house in the Thata neighborhood in Ramallah.
The IOF also arrested the young man Nidal Hindi after raiding a residential building in the al-Tira neighborhood of Ramallah.
In al-Khalil, the IOF held captive Alaa al-Sharabati from Khirbet al-Hariq area as well as the former prisoner Mohamed al-Ashqar, 32, while passing through the Hamra military checkpoint near the city of Jericho, while five other young men were rounded up in Bethlehem.
