A number of Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and others were violently beaten at predawn time on Friday in arrest sweeps launched across the West Bank.
Local sources said young man Mohamed Hendy has been held in an Israeli detention center while three other young men kidnapped overnight from Nablus were released.
At the same time Israeli soldiers subjected Palestinian civilians to intensive questioning and heavily beat up others near Anbata town east of Tulkarem in the northern occupied West Bank.
The IOF set up a checkpoint between Anbata and Bazaria before they stopped Palestinian cars passing through the area and subjected those onboard to heavy beating.
Eye-witnesses said the young men were forced to lie on the ground handcuffed while Israeli soldiers kept interrogating them.
