The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday morning set up a military checkpoint north of Halhul city in al-Khalil province.
The PIC reporter said that the IOF soldiers erected a temporary checkpoint in al-Hawawir area and started to stop Palestinian vehicles search them and harass their passengers.
He added that the soldiers detained the ex-prisoners Shadi Melhem and Ali Hamdan at the checkpoint for an hour and a half after scrutinizing their IDs. Melhem and Hamdan were released after being handed summonses to appear before the Israeli intelligence next week.
