The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnaped on Wednesday evening four Palestinian citizens from the West Bank and Jerusalem and banished a Jerusalemite researcher from the Aqsa Mosque.
According to local sources the IOF stormed al-Deheisha refugee camp in Bethlehem and kidnaped two citizens from their homes.
The IOF also kidnaped Emad Rayhan a senior Hamas official at a makeshift checkpoint near Tulkarem City.
Rayhan had been released three months ago from an Israeli jail where he spent 10 months in administrative detention with no trial or indictment.
In Jerusalem Israeli police officers assaulted a Palestinian young man as he was traveling on the light rail in the holy city and then hauled him to a police station.
Meanwhile the Israeli police handed Jerusalemite researcher Radwan Amr an order banning his entry to the Aqsa Mosque for one week after kidnaping him on Wednesday morning from his home in al-Thuri neighborhood in the holy city.
The police also asked Amr to return to the Qishla police station on August 10 to receive another order extending his banishment from the Aqsa Mosque for several months.
