The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday night arrested a Palestinian businessman at the Beit Hanoun (Erez) border crossing north of the Gaza Strip.
A Palestinian official from the crossings and border authority said that Israeli intelligence officers arrested a businessman called Jamal al-Zaini after he went to the Israeli side of the crossing for an interview.
He added that Zaini had submitted a request asking for a travel permit to enter the 194 occupied lands.
Apart from Zaini the IOF has arrested eight citizens since the beginning of the current year after they applied for permission to travel through the crossing for medical and commercial purposes.
