Six Palestinians kidnaped by IOF in W. Bank

Wednesday 12-June-2019

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Wednesday kidnaped at least six Palestinian citizens during campaigns in different West Bank areas.

A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that clashes took place in Jenin refugee camp after Israeli soldiers stormed some homes.

He added that the IOF kidnaped Izzuddin al-Hardan who was released from an Israeli jail three months ago as well as another young man called Mahmoud al-Dab’ie.

In al-Khalil local sources reported that soldiers stormed the southern area of the city and kidnaped a young man they identified as Mohamed Abu Hayya after ransacking his home.

The IOF also stormed Idnna town west of al-Khalil and searched the house of prisoner Ziyad Awwad.

Awwad was one of the prisoners who were exchanged for an Israeli soldier October 2011 following a mediated swap deal between the Hamas Movement and the Israeli government.

In 2014 he was arrested and rejailed after he carried out a shooting operation that led to the killing of a Jewish settler in the occupied West Bank.

Three other citizens were also reportedly kidnaped from their homes at dawn in different West Bank areas.
