Two other youths were arrested as IOF broke into Bethlehem to the south of occupied West Bank while a female ex-detainee was summoned for investigation.

Similar raids were carried out in al-Khalil where four locals were kidnapped from their houses including two brothers which led to the outbreak of violent clashes.
