A number of Palestinian civilians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Friday in mass abduction sweeps launched across the West Bank.
The IOF rolled into the northern West Bank province of Qalqilya and kidnapped 21-year-old Palestinian youth Qassam Abdul Hafidh after they wreaked havoc on his family home and attacked his relatives. The detainee was later dragged to an unidentified destination.
A PIC reporter quoted local sources as saying that the IOF rolled into Qalqilya in a number of military vehicles and set up ambushes and checkpoints.
Meanwhile violent clashes burst out shortly after the Israeli forces stormed al-Shuhadaa Triangle near the southern entrance to Jenin province in the northern occupied West Bank.
Israeli army patrols further raked through al-Jabriyat area in Jenin and cordoned off Nazareth Street leading to al-Jalama crossing.
