The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Thursday kidnapped Palestinian journalist Mohamed Awad from his home in Budrus town west of Ramallah city in the West Bank.
Local sources reported that Israeli soldiers intensively fired stun grenades on the town’s streets before they stormed the house of Awad and rounded him up.
Mohamed Awad works as a TV cameraman for Wattan news agency in Ramallah and has been detained several times before by the Israeli and Palestinian security authorities.
During the last few days the IOF stormed the same town and kidnapped journalist Abdul-Rahman Awad who works for SAFA news agency as well as journalist Raghad Tabisa during a campaign in Qalqilya.
