Sunday 8-October-2017

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday evening kidnapped two Palestinians at roadblocks in different West Bank areas and barricaded all roads leading to Azzun town east of Qalqilya.

According to local sources Israeli soldiers rounded up 44-year-old Naser al-Jendi a resident of Yatta town at a makeshift checkpoint they set up at the main entrance to al-Fawwar refugee camp south of al-Khalil city.

The soldiers detained Jendi after intercepting and searching the public vehicle he was aboard and checking the IDs of all passengers.

The IOF also kidnapped on the same day another Palestinian young citizen from Jenin refugee camp as he was traveling on a road to Ramallah city.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the family of the young man Sanad Satiti came to know later that its son was arrested by the IOF from aboard a car heading for Ramallah.

In another incident the IOF closed all entrances to Azzun town east of Qalqilya and prevented local residents from going in or out before thoroughly searching them and their vehicles and checking their IDs.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing soldiers raiding homes in the town and patrolling its streets without knowing the reason for the IOF campaign.
