The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday morning kidnapped two young Palestinian citizens in al-Khalil city south of the West Bank.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Israeli soldiers near the Ibrahimi Mosque stopped a group of school children and brutalized them and were about to detain them when a young man called Yusri Taha intervened and protected them.
However the soldiers subdued and arrested the young man instead and took him to an unknown place the sources added.
Meanwhile Israeli soldiers intercepted and arrested a school girl as she was going home from school in an area near Halhoul city north of al-Khalil.
Local sources said that the soldiers waylaid the girl and restrained her before taking her away. The identity of the girl is still unknown.
