NABLUS (PIC)– The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnapped at dawn Wednesday nine Palestinians during violent raids on homes in Nablus city and its villages.

They also raided the areas of northern mountain Faisal street Mamoun street and downtown and kidnapped Ra’ed Al-Sayegh and Izzuddin Darwza.
Other families were reportedly handed summonses for interrogation issued against their sons by the Israeli intelligence. Many summonses have been issued since more than a week by the intelligence against Palestinian young men in Nablus area.
Six other young men were taken prisoners by the IOF during raids on homes in Beit Furik east of Nablus city. Some personal computers were confiscated in this campaign.
Consequently violent clashes broke out between young men and the invading Israeli soldiers in different areas of Nablus.

The IOF also established a checkpoint at the entrance to Sabah Al-Khair suburb searched the passing vehicles and checked IDs.
Some citizens who went early morning to Jalama checkpoint reported that the IOF intensified their presence in and around the area.

The campaign targeted workshops and warehouses where the workmen stay and sleep and concentrated in Haifa Khadira and Mutalat.
Workmen from Jenin told the PIC that the IOF kidnapped 10 of their friends during the campaign.
