The PPS office in Jenin, in northern West Bank, said the soldiers abducted six Palestinians, identified as Mohammad Samir ar-Rokh, Jihad Najm, Yazan Salit, Mohammad Yousef al-Ghoul, Aqaba Nafe’ Yahia and Ahmad Jawdat Jarrar.
In Bethlehem, the soldiers abducted Mousa Mohammad al-‘Amour, Moath Ibrahim al-‘Amour, Walid Abdul-Fattah Salah, 16, and Mohammad Shalabi Sha’er, 17.
In Hebron, in southern West Bank, the soldiers abducted Zayed Met’eb, and his son Tha’er, in addition to Bilal Mohammad Kawazba.
In Qalqilia, in northern West Bank, the soldiers abducted one Palestinian, identified as Ibrahim Jal’oud.
In Ramallah, in central West Bank, the soldiers abducted Islam Ayed Fleih and Yazan Mathloum.
These pre-dawn raids are a nightly occurrence in the West Bank, with Israeli forces invading towns and villages while the local residents are sleeping.
The Israeli troops then engage in a practice of breaking down doors, ransacking homes and grabbing young men and women from their beds as they lie sleeping.
