The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday evening kidnapped a Palestinian farmer and his son from their olive grove in Qalqilya’s eastern town of Azzoun.
A PIC news correspondent said Israeli soldiers stormed Palestinian olive groves in Azzoun and kidnapped the Palestinian landowner Mohamed Shebita and his 12-year-old son Hamza while they were picking olives.
The Israeli occupation army has stepped up crackdowns against Palestinian farmers during the olive-picking season in an attempt to force them out of their lands and ease harvest-theft by Israeli settlers residing in illegal settlement outposts across the occupied Palestinian territories.
