The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday evening kidnapped five Palestinian civilians from Jenin’s western town of Bertaa in the northern West Bank.
A PIC news correspondent said heavily-armed IOF troops cordoned off Bertaa town near the apartheid fence and sealed off all access roads into the area with military checkpoints before they kidnapped five Palestinians from the same family.
14-year-old minor Omar Mahmoud al-Haj Sai’d was among the five captives.
The other arrestees were identified as Badran 36 Mahmoud 30 Umran 19 and their elderly uncle Mohamed al-Haj Sa’id 58.
The IOF further pitched a military checkpoint on the main road between Yabad and eastern Bertaa where Palestinian passengers and vehicles have been subjected to exhaustive inspection.
A home to a large central market frequently visited by Palestinians living in 1948 occupied territories for commercial trade Bertaa town has been the permanent target of abrupt assaults by the Israeli occupation army.
