The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Wednesday kidnapped 17 Palestinians from the West Bank and subjected a prisoner’s wife to a strip search.
“The occupation army stormed my family home in Dura town in al-Khalil and wreaked havoc on the building before they strip-searched me and summoned me for questioning” Fayhaa Shelesh the wife of the imprisoned Palestinian journalist Mohamed al-Qeiq said on Facebook.
A Palestinian youth—Ezzedine Al-Titi—was meanwhile kidnapped by the IOF from his home in the al-Fawar refugee camp in southern al-Khalil province.
The occupation soldiers further stormed a smithy owned by Ibrahim Hmeidat in al-Khalil’s western town of Surif and seized its equipment before they summoned the blacksmith for interrogation.
