Four Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at predawn Sunday in abduction sweeps rocking West Bank provinces.
The Israeli occupation army claimed responsibility for the abduction of three Palestinians two among whom on allegations of involvement in anti-occupation activities. The third was kidnapped on account of his affiliation with Hamas movement.
Coordination for the national anti-settlement committee in Beit Ummar Mohamed Ayad said the IOF stormed the town at the crack of dawn and kidnapped two Palestinian young men.
Violent clashes flared up shortly afterwards in the area where the occupation soldiers attacked the Palestinian anti-occupation youth with randomly-unleashed spates of teargas canisters.
Several Palestinian civilians including worshipers from Beit Ummar’s Grand Mosque choked on teargas in the assault.
Activist Ayad identified the two detainees as 25-year-old ex-prisoner Alaa al-Salibi and 24-year-old Mohamed Awad.
The IOF further wreaked havoc on civilian homes and came down heavily on the residents.
Meanwhile ex-prisoner Ahmed Nouh Hreish was kidnapped by the occupation soldiers from his family home in Ramallah’s town of Beitounia.
Overnight clashes burst out shortly after the IOF rolled into Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank and kidnapped the Palestinian young man Salam Sa’abna as he passed through a makeshift checkpoint pitched near the main entrance to Arraba town south of Jenin.
