The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnaped several Palestinian citizens during overnight and morning raids in different West Bank areas, amid clashes with local youths.
According to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society, the IOF kidnaped at least 20 citizens, including a woman, during a large-scale arrest campaign in the West Bank, which started last night and continued into Thursday morning.
According to local sources, six citizens were taken prisoners following an IOF raid in Azzun town, east of Qalqilya.
The IOF also stormed others areas of the West Bank, raided homes and kidnaped citizens.
Meanwhile, the IOF imposed movement restrictions on Palestinian vehicles at the Tayasir checkpoint in eastern Tubas, causing a heavy build-up of traffic on the road.
