New zionist regime arrests in the West Bank

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested at dawn Wednesday 15 citizens after carrying out raids and break-ins into Palestinian towns and villages throughout the West Bank.

Hebrew media sources quoted an Israeli military official as saying that 15 “wanted persons” were arrested including seven from Nablus. The detainees were transferred to Israeli detention centers.

Local sources told Quds Press that IOF soldiers stormed Aroub refugee camp and arrested two youths, while two others were detained after raiding their homes in Fawar refugee camp.

Two arrests were also reported in Beit Ummar in al-Khalil while two youths were detained in Silat Daher in Jenin.

In the same context, Israeli soldiers waged at dawn today a large raid campaign in a number of towns in Jenin, and summoned a citizen for investigation after being arrested for several hours at a military checkpoint.

Around five Israeli troops stormed Qabatia town and conducted combing operation in the area. Several people were brutally attacked during the raid.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces kidnapped on Tuesday two Palestinians including a child during a peaceful protest in Nabi Saleh village in solidarity with Gaza.

Human rights activist Bilal Tamimi confirmed that Israeli forces kidnapped a 10-year-old child and a 19-year-old young man and took them to an unknown destination after being severally beaten.

Tamimi pointed out that the young man was trying to prevent the child’s arrest but Israeli forces attacked and detained both of them.

Following the attack, Israeli forces intensified their presence and started firing live bullets, which led to the outbreak of clashes.

On the other hand, Israeli forces arrested the ex-detainee Thaer Halahleh, who was released three months ago from Israeli jails, after raiding his home in al-Khalil.

Thaer Halahleh, a father of two children, was arrested more than seven times. He spent nine years behind Israeli bars.

He was released after a long hunger strike that lasted for 78 consecutive days.

Muhjet Quds Institution warned of Thaer’s health deterioration especially that he suffers several health problems due to his repeated arrests.

Palestinian Prisoner Society revealed that Israeli forces arrested 4 citizens from Hebron, 4 others from Nablus, and 4 in Salfit, while two arrests were reported in Bethlehem and Jenin.
