The army also kidnapped ten Palestinians in different parts of the West Bank. Local sources said that the soldiers invaded Baladna Coffee Shop, in the center of the city, and ‘Abboud Bakery, violently searching them while interrogating the workers and the customers.

Soldiers also invaded Ya’bad town, southwest of Jenin, and installed a military roadblock on its main entrance before stopping and searching dozens of cars, and investigating the ID cards of the passengers.
