The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday evening kidnaped two Palestinian young men from an area near Awarta town southeast of Nablus.
According to local sources the IOF kidnaped Mahmoud Faisal and Sameh Mohamed both from the family of Qawariq and residents of Awarta town as they were walking in the agricultural area near their town.
Local residents intervened to persuade the soldiers to let the young men go but their efforts were to no avail.
