The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Friday kidnapped five Palestinian citizens including a paramedic in al-Khalil and Nablus.
Local sources reported that Israeli soldiers stormed areas in al-Khalil city at dawn and kidnapped three Palestinians from their homes adding that a car belonging to one of the detainees was confiscated during the IOF campaign.
The detainees were identified as Suhaib Abu Hussein Yousef Amr and Issa al-Ja’bari the owner of the seized car.
In Nablus the IOF kidnapped a paramedic called Yousef Dairiya from his home in Aqraba town and confiscated an ambulance he usually drives.
A family source told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Dairiya was aboard the same confiscated ambulance at the entrance to Huwara town in Nablus on Thursday when a Jewish settler opened fire at Palestinian protesters killing Mu’taz Bani Shamsa and wounding a journalist.
The source added that Dairiya was witness to the crime of killing Bani Shamsa.
In a related context another Palestinian citizen was taken prisoner during an IOF dawn campaign in Nablus city north of the West Bank.
The detainee was identified as Jamal Shalo the owner of al-Waleed Transport Company in the city.
The IOF also confiscated one of the company’s buses at the pretext that it was used to transport citizens from Nablus city to Huwara town where Bani Shamsa was shot dead by a settler during a protest rally in solidarity with hunger-striking prisoners in Israeli jails.
