A Palestinian young man was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces early Friday at a makeshift checkpoint set up on the access road to al-Nabi Saleh village in Ramallah.
Eye-witnesses said Israeli soldiers kidnapped Alaa Barghouti as he passed through a checkpoint pitched at the main entrance to al-Nabi Saleh northwest of Ramallah.
The checkpoint was randomly set up by the Israeli military at daybreak in an attempt to prevent Palestinian youths from joining the weekly anti-occupation march.
