The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) late on Monday evening kidnapped two Palestinian youngsters near the Ibrahimi Mosque in the southern West Bank province of al-Khalil claiming they were holding knives.
Reporting from the scene journalist Raed Abu Ermeila told the PIC that the IOF stopped two Palestinian young men at Abu al-Rish military checkpoint set up near the Ibrahimi Mosque and subjected them to intensive interrogation before they accused them of carrying knives and detained them.
Since October 2015 dozens of Palestinian youths have been kidnapped by the Israeli army at ad hoc military checkpoints pitched across the Palestinian territories on claims of attempting to carry out anti-occupation attacks.
