A number of Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at predawn time Wednesday in abduction sweeps rocking the West Bank and Jerusalem.

The IOF stormed Tel town in the northern West Bank province of Nablus at dawn and wreaked havoc on civilian homes before they kidnapped two young men aged 23-years-old.

At the same time dozens of Israeli soldiers raked through Qalqilya’s eastern town of Azzoun in the northern occupied West Bank and kidnapped two Palestinian youths.

The IOF reportedly ransacked civilian homes and sealed off the main entrance to Azzoun town.

Overnight heavily-armed Israeli patrols cordoned off the vicinities of Azzoun Atama and Beit Ameen towns allegedly after gunmen opened fire toward the main entrance to an Israeli settlement illegally built on Palestinian lands in the area.

Meanwhile occupation patrols rolled into Bani Na’im town east of al-Khalil and kidnapped the Palestinian citizen Alyan Khalil and his wife Umm Muhammad.

Palestinian ex-prisoner Ahmed Ibryoush was kidnapped by the IOF from Dura town to the south of al-Khalil.

Israeli soldiers also rummaged into civilian homes in Bethlehem before they summoned the young man Hadi al-Wahsh to questioning.

In the meantime clashes flared up in Beit Rima west of Ramallah province after heavily-armed occupation patrols stormed the area and cracked down on Palestinian anti-occupation youth.

The sweep culminated in the abduction of youngster Shadi Muheissen from Jerusalem’s eastern town of al-Issawiya.

Several Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Wednesday in abduction sweeps launched across the West Bank.

The Israeli army rolled into Tulkarem province and ransacked civilian buildings before they kidnapped several Palestinians from their family homes.

The arbitrary arrests triggered clashes near the main entrance to Tulkarem refugee camp where the IOF attacked Palestinians with bullet fire and teargas resulting in injuries.

A number of Palestinians were meanwhile left injured in clashes with the occupation troops in Nablus.

At the same time the Israeli forces raided Jerusalem’s northeastern town of al-Issawiya and kidnapped at least six Palestinian youngsters moments before they dragged them to Israeli interrogation centers.

Six Palestinians were further kidnapped by the IOF from Jenin province in the northern West Bank. The list included Hamas leader Ahmed Salatna along with other affiliates and anti-occupation activists.

The occupation army ravaged civilian homes and cracked down on the inhabitants. They further set up flying military checkpoints across the city.

Meanwhile the IOF stormed the southern occupied West Bank province of al-Khalil in the hunt for stone-throwers. The army showered civilian homes with acoustic bombs and teargas grenades sparking clashes in the area.

The IOF also broke into Palestinian homes in Bethlehem and kidnapped two Palestinian brothers—Mahdi and Muhyi al-Badawna—from their family houses.

The IOF reportedly ransacked the homes of Palestinian ex-prisoners using detection dogs on account of their affiliation with Hamas resistance movement.

The campaign culminated in the abduction of two Palestinians from Qalqilya province in the northern occupied West Bank. A round of home break-ins was also carried out by the occupation army.

The IOF further sealed off the access roads to Azzoun and Gios to the east with makeshift roadblocks.
