IOF arrests Palestinian during pre-dawn raids in West Bank

Friday 6-October-2017

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested at dawn Friday a Palestinian young man after breaking into his family house in Yabad town southwest of Jenin.

Israeli army spokesman claimed that the detainee is involved in the anti-occupation attack that took place last week near Mevo Dotan illegal settlement.

IOF stormed and violently searched the house leaving it all in messy piles eyewitnesses reported.

Earlier last week IOF claimed that a home-made bomb was thrown near the illegal settlement of Mevo Dotan built on a Palestinian-owned land near the town.

No casualties or damage were reported in the incident.

Following the IOF raid clashes erupted at dawn today in the town without reporting any initial injuries.

Meanwhile similar raids were launched in Beit Fujar town southeast of Bethlehem while no arrests were carried out.

Several local homes were violently stormed and searched during the raid.

Earlier Thursday six Palestinians were detained after IOF stopped a bus at a military checkpoint northwest of Ramallah.
