The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Sunday stormed a Palestinian blacksmith shop in al-Shouyoukh town northeast of al-Khalil and seized all its equipment.
A PIC news correspondent said heavily armed Israeli patrols escorted by military vehicles and a truck rolled into a workshop owned by al-Kurki family in al-Shoyoukh and confiscated all the machines and equipment before they sealed off its doors on claims that it is used to manufacture weapons.
The assault coincided with a mass abduction sweep launched by the IOF across al-Khalil and Bethlehem.
Reporting from al-Khalil a PIC correspondent said the Israeli troops wreaked havoc on the family home of ex-prisoner Luay al-Tawil before they seized his car.
A number of Palestinian activists were kidnapped by the IOF in the campaign.
