TULKARM (PIC)– IOF soldiers in a pre-dawn raid on Monday ransacked the home of Sheikh Anwar Omair one of the Hamas Movement’s political leaders in the village of Bala’a east of Tulkarm city in a futile bid to arrest him locals reported.
Eyewitnesses said that occupation forces mounting 15 army vehicles stormed the western suburb of the village at 01.00 am and broke into Sheikh Anwar’s home who has been wanted for those troops for several years.
