The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Friday kidnaped senior Hamas official Hasan Yousef 64 from his home in Beitunia town near Ramallah city in the central West Bank.
According to local sources Israeli soldiers from the Ofer military base stormed Beitunia town and raided the house of Yousef before taking him prisoner.
