At least six Palestinian civilians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) from the West Bank at dawn Thursday.
The Israeli occupation army claimed in a statement responsibility for the abduction of five Palestinians on allegations of taking part in anti-occupation activism.
The campaign targeted a Palestinian citizen from Qalqilya and a Hamas affiliate from Beitouna town along with three Palestinians from al-Khalil province.
The occupation army also said it detected a homemade tubular bomb during an assault on Jenin’s town of Qabatiya.
At the same time the IOF broke into civilian homes in the southern West Bank province of al-Khalil and came down heavily on the Palestinian inhabitants.
Meanwhile the IOF kidnapped two brothers from the Palestinian Hreish family in Ramallah’s western town of Beitouna.
According to local sources an Israeli army patrol stormed the home of Nouh Hreish and kidnapped his two sons Mahmoud 25 and Ahmad 22.
The IOF ravaged the family home and seized a laptop and cell phones before they aggressively beat the detainees’ mother on her head using riffle butts.
