The detainee identified as Tawfiq al-Kharraz is a resident of Tubas city and an ex-prisoner who was arrested by the IOF several times before.
Meanwhile according to local sources the IOF set up a number of temporary checkpoints south of Nablus city hindering the Palestinian citizens’ movement and causing suffocating traffic jams.
