The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Friday kidnapped Palestinian lawmaker Mohamed Abu Tir from his home in Ramallah city.

Local sources reported that Israeli soldiers stormed the house of MP Abu Tir who represents the Jerusalem constituency in Umm ash-Sharayet neighborhood of Ramallah and rounded him up.

Abu Tir was exiled from Jerusalem by the Shin Bet after his election as a Hamas-affiliated member of the Palestinian Legislative Council in 2006 and his Jerusalem identity card was also revoked after his refusal to resign from his lawmaking post

He already spent a total of 34 years in Israeli jails during different periods and was released a few months ago from administrative detention.
