The Israeli occupation forces late on Sunday evening kidnapped two Palestinian children near the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil at the same time as Israeli settlers defiled the site.
Bashar Gheith and Mohamed Gheith both 17-year-old were kidnapped by the occupation soldiers at Checkpoint 106 set up in the vicinity of the Ibrahimi Mosque in the southern West Bank province of al-Khalil eyewitnesses told a PIC news correspondent.
Meanwhile dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the plazas of the Ibrahimi Mosque and performed sacrilegious rituals sparking tension in the area.
The Israeli military forces tightened restrictions near the Ibrahimi place of worship. At the same time Israeli settler hordes have held parties and chanted anti-Arab slogans to mark Israel’s establishment on the land of Palestine.
