Nablus – Ma’an –

Israeli occupation forces apprehended four young Palestinians from the Nablus district in the northern West Bank and Bethlehem in the south on Sunday morning.

Palestinian security sources said Israeli forces stormed the village of Aqraba at midnight and ransacked several homes before seizing 35-year-old Mahmoud Deiriya, 18-year-old Ahmed Bani Jabir, 18-year-old Uday Bani Jabir, and 38-year-old Yahya Bani Jabir.

In Bethlehem, according to Palestinian security sources, Israeli forces stormed the city and Dehaisha refugee camp before seizing 31-year-old Islam Al-Hasanat and 28-year-old Ahmad Al-Huraimi.

Sunday morning's raids came following an announcement from Israel less than one month ago that its soldiers would stay out of four city districts in the West Bank, Bethlehem, Qalqiliya, Jericho and Ramallah, except for "exceptional cases."

TULKAREM, (PIC)--

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Saturday stormed the city of Tulkarem and its two refugee camps, broke into many homes amidst random shooting, and handed tens of citizen's summonses to appear before the Israeli intelligence office west of the city.

Local sources said that the campaign came less than 24 hours of a similar one at dawn Friday where the same scenario was repeated.

They pointed out that most of those summoned to the intelligence office were Hamas supporters especially university students, many of whom were kidnapped by PA security elements loyal to former PA chief Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank.

In the same context, the IOF command announced that the liberated prisoner Abir Oda, 27, was detained at noon Thursday east of Tulkarem at Annab roadblock at the pretext she was carrying a knife in her purse.

Oda was arrested on the same charge before and served almost three years in Israeli jails on four separate occasions.

IOF troops also at dawn Saturday burst into Jenin city and its refugee camp, roamed the streets then withdrew without arresting anyone.
