According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society the IOF kidnaped several young men on allegations of their involvement in popular resistance activities and interrogated others after detaining them for hours and raiding their homes in different areas of the West Bank.
Local sources said that the IOF stormed the archaeological area in Sebastia town north of Nablus and carried out large-scale raids on dozens of homes in al-Khalil City.
