Local sources have reported that dozens of local youth hurled stones at the invading soldiers, and that the army fired rubber-coated metal bullets and gas bombs.

On Friday afternoon, soldiers kidnapped Sakher Hisham Abu Mariya, 23 years of age, taking him to an unknown destination. He was driving his car, used for public transportation, when the soldiers kidnapped him.

This is not the first time that soldiers kidnapped Abu Mariya, as he was repeatedly kidnapped and imprisoned by the army, and has two brothers, Habes and Jihad, who are still imprisoned after being kidnapped several months ago.

His brothers previously spent years in Israeli military prisons and detention camps.
