A number of Palestinians were arrested by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Monday in abduction sweeps rocking the West Bank.
The Israeli military claimed responsibility for the abduction of nine Palestinians overnight over allegations of involvement in anti-occupation activities.
The campaign targeted Palestinian young men from Bethlehem al-Khalil and Ramallah.
38-year-old Palestinian ex-prisoner Rami Fadayel was kidnapped by the IOF from his family home in al-Tira neighborhood in Ramallah. He has spent a total of eight years in Israeli jails.
Israeli patrols wreaked havoc on civilian homes in Ramallah and al-Khalil and subjected the residents to exhaustive questioning.
At the same time the occupation forces ravaged the home of the slain Palestinian youth Husain Abu Ghush in Qalandiya refugee Camp north of occupied Jerusalem.
Meanwhile full-armed Israeli soldiers rolled into Jenin’s southern town of Qabatiya and broke into the family homes of a number of anti-occupation activists affiliated with Hamas Movement. Clashes burst out in the area.
The IOF further stormed the home of the Palestinian writer Thamer Saba’na aged 42 and subjected him to intensive questioning.
