WEST BANK (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnaped last night and at dawn Wednesday dozens of Palestinian citizens during a large-scale campaign in different areas of the West Bank.
According to local sources, dozens of Israeli soldiers stormed al-Arroub refugee camp in northern al-Khalil at dawn, raided homes, and assaulted and kidnaped a number of citizens.
The sources estimated that over 25 citizens were kidnaped and maltreated by Israeli forces during the IOF raid in al-Arroub camp.
On Tuesday evening, three citizens suffered injuries after Israeli soldiers savagely assaulted them in al-Arroub camp.
Israeli soldiers also stormed the UNRWA health center in al-Arroub camp, wreaked havoc on its contents, and used it to interrogate dozens of citizens who were kidnaped from their homes.
The IOF reportedly demolished a Palestinian house near a road used by Jewish settlers at the main entrance of al-Arroub camp.
In Ramallah, the IOF kidnaped at least eight citizens from Abwein village, north of Ramallah.
In Nablus, the IOF kidnaped one citizen from the city and two brothers from Urif town.
In Tulkarem, Israeli forces stormed the towns of Beit Leed and Ramin and kidnaped two women from their homes.
Last night, Israeli soldiers kidnaped dozens of displaced citizens from a mosque in Tulkarem City, which is used as a shelter. There was no information if some of them were released later.
A number of citizens, who were displaced recently by the IOF from the refugee camp of Tulkarem and Nur Shams, live in this mosque and other shelter centers.
Soldiers also raided a house in the same area and interrogated some of its residents.
For 17 days, the IOF has been raiding homes, kidnaping citizens, and wreaking havoc on public and private property in Tulkarem City and its two refugee camp (Tulkarem and Nur Shams), as part of its expanding military operation in the northern West Bank.
