At least six Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) from the West Bank and Jerusalem at dawn Thursday.
The Israeli occupation army claimed in a statement responsibility for the abduction of six Palestinians at predawn time on suspicions of involvement in anti-occupation activities and affiliations with Hamas resistance movement.
The campaign targeted three Palestinians from Qalqilya’s eastern town of Azzoun two among whom identified as Hamas affiliates.
Another Palestinian was kidnapped by the Israeli soldiers near Nablus’s southern town of Beita.
The campaign culminated in the abduction of two Palestinians from Abu Dis town in eastern Occupied Jerusalem.
According to the Israeli military statement the IOF closed a blacksmith shop in Beit Lakia southwest of Ramallah on claims that it was used to manufacture weapons.
Meanwhile Palestinian citizen Youssef Dar Moussa said an Israeli military patrol stormed his family home and those of his brothers in Beit Lakia and wreaked havoc on the buildings.
He added that another military patrol ravaged blacksmith shops owned by his brothers Sadam and Hakim and sealed them off with red wax.
