The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Tuesday kidnapped four Palestinians from the West Bank provinces of Nablus and Bethlehem.
The Israeli occupation army claimed in a statement responsibility for the abduction of three Palestinians from Nablus two among whom affiliated with Hamas Movement.
A PIC news correspondent said the IOF rolled into the Balata refugee camp in eastern Nablus and kidnapped 50-year-old Jaber Aweis after they wreaked havoc on his family home.
Aweis’s eldest son said the IOF stormed the camp at 2 a.m. and cordoned off the family home before they kidnapped his father on account of his affiliation with Hamas.
He added that his father had been kidnapped in five earlier occasions by the IOF and that he was last released in February.
The family voiced deep concern over Aweis’s health status after medics diagnosed him with sight disorders caused by Israeli bullet shrapnel. He had undergone medical surgeries both inside and outside Israeli jails.
The IOF further rummaged into the home of ex-prisoner Mootassem Abdul Aal in Balata camp.
Youngster Anas Hamdan was kidnapped by the occupation soldiers from his family home in al-Ein camp to the west of Nablus.
At the same time the IOF ravaged civilian homes in Qaryout town to the southeast of Nablus.
Member of the local village council Bashar Al-Qaryouti said the IOF subjected several minors to exhaustive interrogation.
Overnight the occupation army pitched a military checkpoint near Beita town crossroads in southern Nablus where Palestinians have been made to endure intensive searches.
The IOF further searched two Palestinians driving near the Yitzahar crossroads on Hawara thoroughfare and seized their car.
The predawn campaign culminated in the abduction of a Palestinian youth from the southern occupied West Bank province of Bethlehem.
