Several Palestinians were arrested by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Sunday in abduction sweeps rocking the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The Israeli army claimed in a statement responsibility for the abduction of 10 Palestinians over allegations of involvement in anti-occupation activities.
The arrestees were dragged to Israeli detention centers pending exhaustive investigation.
The campaign targeted Palestinians from Batn al-Hawa neighborhood in Jerusalem’s southern town of Silwan.
Ex-prisoner Omar Abu Senineh was kidnapped by the IOF from his family home south of al-Khalil province in the southern occupied West Bank.
At the same time clashes burst out in Kafr Ne’ma town west of Ramallah moments after Israeli patrols rolled into the area and cracked down on the locals.
Overnight Israeli soldiers raided the southern and western corners of Jenin province and kidnapped two Palestinian teens from Yabad town.
A series of military checkpoints was pitched by the occupation patrols at the main entrances to Jenin and other West Bank areas in an attempt to quell anti-occupation activism and block Palestinians’ free movement inside and out.
