Scores of Palestinians were kidnapped and civilian homes ravaged by the Israeli occupation forces at daybreak Tuesday in abduction sweeps rocking the West Bank.
Full-armed Israeli patrols rolled into Tulkarem in the northern occupied West Bank in the hunt for anti-occupation attacker Ashraf Na’luwa. A Palestinian was kidnapped during the assault.
The IOF ravaged civilian homes and subjected civilians in Nour Shams refugee camp and southern neighborhoods to intensive questioning about the whereabouts of Na’luwa.
At the same time three Palestinian young men were injured with live ammunition and four brothers from the Daraghmeh family kidnapped by the Israeli army in fierce clashes that burst out in Tubas city shortly after dozens of Israeli soldiers rolled into the area and came down heavily on anti-occupation protesters.
The three young men were rushed to the Turkish Hospital in Tubas for urgent treatment over thigh injuries.
Clashes also rocked the West Bank towns of Azzoun Anbata al-Jalazoun and al-Dhahriya.
Meanwhile nine Palestinians mostly ex-prisoners and anti-occupation activists affiliated with Hamas were kidnapped by the IOF from Nablus.
Overnight dozens of extremist Israeli settlers stormed Nablus and vandalized Palestinian cars. Heavily-armed Israeli patrols escorted the settler hordes and closed off the Hawara checkpoint and other vital thoroughfares in the area.
