Friday 21-August-2015

RAMALLAH (PIC)– The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) carried out Friday a large-scale raid campaign throughout the West Bank. Seven arrests were reported during the raid.

Israeli media sources claimed that seven Palestinians wanted for interrogation were arrested Friday; six of them were allegedly involved in attacks against Israeli soldiers and settlers.

The arrests were mainly carried out in Nablus Ramallah al-Khalil and occupied Jerusalem the sources added.

Along the same line IOF soldiers with police dogs violently stormed a Palestinian home in Beit Ummar town south of al-Khalil under the pretext of looking for weapons leaving a complete mess behind.

The local activist Mohamed Awad said that dozens of Israeli soldiers broke into the home after blowing up its main gate.

All the family members were held in one single room as the soldiers ruined the furniture under the pretext of looking for weapons he added.

No weapons were found in the house while a number of local residents suffered tear gas inhalation as IOF soldiers fired heavy tear gas bombs to protect their withdrawal.

Earlier Thursday a group of Israeli settlers attacked and brutally beat two Palestinian children in the Old City of al-Khalil.
