20 Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces at daybreak Thursday in an assault on Nablus’s southern town of Qasra.
Israeli army troops stormed Qasra in 35 military vehicles at the crack of dawn and ransacked civilian homes triggering tension across the area.
The assault culminated in the abduction of 20 Palestinians among them Mohamed Hasan Adham Kanaan Mohamed Oudeh Haythem Hamdan Rebhi Samara Mohamed Wadi and Kusay Abu Rida among others.
Tension has been running high in Qasra over recent days after Israeli extremist settlers shot and killed the Palestinian farmer Mahmoud Oudeh earlier this week. Dozens of anti-occupation protesters have also been left wounded in fierce clashes with the Israeli army.
