The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Thursday kidnapped former minister of detainees’ affairs Wasfi Qabha from his home in Jenin city.

The wife of Qabha told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that dozens of Israeli soldiers broke into and ransacked their house in al-Basateen neighborhood and rounded up her husband.

She said her husband had been released a few months ago from an Israeli jail adding that he suffers from several chronic health problems.

Qabha had spent over 15 years in Israel jails mostly in administrative detention.

Another citizen called Mahdi Hifawi was also taken prisoner during the same IOF campaign. Hifawi was working as an escort for Qabha during his tenure as minister.
