A number of Palestinian civilians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Friday in mass abduction sweeps launched across the West Bank.

The IOF rolled into the northern West Bank province of Qalqilya and kidnapped 21-year-old Palestinian youth Qassam Abdul Hafidh after they wreaked havoc on his family home and attacked his relatives. The detainee was later dragged to an unidentified destination.

A PIC reporter quoted local sources as saying that the IOF rolled into Qalqilya in a number of military vehicles and set up ambushes and checkpoints.

Meanwhile violent clashes burst out shortly after the Israeli forces stormed al-Shuhadaa Triangle near the southern entrance to Jenin province in the northern occupied West Bank.

Israeli army patrols further raked through al-Jabriyat area in Jenin and cordoned off Nazareth Street leading to al-Jalama crossing.

A number of Palestinian civilians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Sunday in assaults launched across West Bank provinces.

At predawn time the IOF kidnapped the Palestinian citizen Saeb Alawna as he passed through a makeshift checkpoint set up on the access road to Nablus.

In the meantime a flock of Israeli military jeeps rolled into Nablus’s eastern towns of Beit Furik and Beit Dajan at the crack of dawn and raked through residential neighborhoods for over one hour before they retreated to the Beit Furik checkpoint.

At the same time hordes of Israeli settlers have been spotted in makeshift tents pitched in Beit Dajan’s eastern corners.

Overnight the IOF stormed Beita and Ourata south of Nablus and showered the area with acoustic grenades sparking clashes with Palestinian protesters.

Meanwhile 18-year-old Maamoun al-Natsha was kidnapped by the Israeli soldiers near Gilbert checkpoint in Tel al-Rumeida in al-Khalil.
