Arrests as IOF storms home of Petah Tikva anti-occupation attacker

Friday 10-February-2017

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Friday stormed the home of the Palestinian activist who carried out an anti-occupation attack in Petah Tikva on Thursday.

The IOF rolled into Beita and Ousrin towns in southern Nablus just a few hours following the Petah Tikva anti-occupation attack carried out by 19-year-old Sadiq Nasser Aweida a native of Beita.

According to local sources the IOF broke into Aweida’s family home at daybreak and subjected all the family members to exhaustive interrogation.

The occupation troops further wreaked havoc on civilian homes in the town and kidnapped two friends of Aweida—Radi al-Jaghoub 19 and Adham Eili 19.

24-year-old Samer Adeili was also kidnapped by the IOF from the nearby Ousrin town and got his car seized on claims of transferring Aweida from Beita to Azzoun town before he headed to Petah Tikva and carried out the attack.

Aweida’s father working in the 1948 occupied territories was reportedly kidnapped by the Israeli forces just a few minutes after the attack.

At the same time the IOF claimed responsibility for the abduction of ten Palestinians from the West Bank at predawn time including eight from Qalqilya province and another from Fahma village in Jenin.

The assault culminated in the abduction of two Palestinian youths from Askar al-Jadeed Camp in eastern Nablus.
