IOF kidnap several Palestinians across the West Bank

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested at dawn Thursday several Palestinians across the West Bank including leaders in Hamas Movement.

Three ex-prisoners, from Ramallah, were among the detainees. A young man was also arrested at Za’atara military checkpoint while driving into Ramallah.

His car was stopped and searched for more than an hour at the checkpoint before being taken to an unknown destination.

Dozens of Palestinian youths were recently arrested at Israeli make-shift checkpoints erected throughout the West Bank.

A number of leaders of Hamas Movement were also arrested few hours after the group’s student wing won the student council election of Birzeit University.

Earlier Wednesday, the Islamic bloc, Hamas’s student wing, won the Birzeit University student council election with 25 seats, compared to 21 seats for Fatah, and five for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
