A number of Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Tuesday in abduction sweeps rocking the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The occupation army claimed responsibility for the abduction of four Palestinians overnight on allegations of involvement in anti-occupation activities.
The Israeli military further alleged that a Carlo gun was detected in al-Khalil’s southern town of Yatta.
The IOF also stormed the home of the two ex-prisoners Alaa Za’aqiq and Sufian Bahar before they summoned them to questioning at the Etzion detention center.
At predawn time the occupation forces sealed off northern Halhul with a makeshift checkpoint where Palestinian civilians and drivers have been made to endure intensive inspection.
At the same time two Palestinian young men were kidnapped by the IOF from Rima town in Ramallah. Another was kidnapped from his home in Qalqilya’s eastern town of Azzoun.
The campaign culminated in the abduction of the injured Palestinian youth Roshdi al-Khatib from Jerusalem’s town of Hizma and four others from al-Issawiya town.
Meanwhile late on Monday evening Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles and property in Nablus.
According to eye-witnesses Israeli vandals hurled rocks at Palestinian cars in the presence of heavily-armed Israeli patrols.
Several Palestinian cars sustained material damage as a result of the assault—the second of its kind over the past couple of days.
