Several Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at predawn on Tuesday in abduction sweeps rocking West Bank provinces.
Clashes flared up shortly after dozens of Israeli soldiers broke into Jenin refugee camp and ransacked civilian homes.
The IOF set up ambushes and deployed snipers on the rooftops of Palestinian homes triggering panic in the area.
Sounds of heavy explosions and incessant bullet fire were spotted all the way through the clashes. Four Palestinian young men were kidnapped in the assault.
The occupation soldiers also kidnapped Assem Abu al-Heija after they stormed his family home and wreaked havoc on it. Assem was released just one month earlier from Israeli jails.
At the same time the IOF stormed al-Yamon town west of Jenin and kidnapped the ex-prisoner Alaa Houshiya from his home.
The occupation army further broke into Nablus’s southern town of Kafr Kalil and ravaged civilian homes before they kidnapped a Palestinian youth—Samer al-Seda—from an auto inspection station.
Palestinian young man Abdulrahman al-Jleis was also kidnapped by the IOF from al-Jalazoun refugee camp north of Ramallah on account of a Facebook post in which he extended condolences to his friend over the death of a relative. The IOF claimed al-Jleis was intending to carry out an anti-occupation attack.
The campaign culminated in the abduction of several Palestinian youths from the southern occupied West Bank provinces of Bethlehem and al-Khalil along with another youth from Qalqilya in the northern West Bank.
