On Thursday evening, Israeli soldiers abducted four Palestinians, including a teenage boy, in the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Media sources said the soldiers invaded Palestinian lands in the Jabal Al‑Manzala area, southeast of the town, and assaulted several farmers while they were working on their land.
The soldiers then abducted Ahmad Awni Taqatqa, 46; Marwan Issa Taqatqa, 50; Yasser Fayez Taqatqa, 46; and Yasser’s son Mohammad, 17.
It is worth mentioning that Ahmad Taqatqa had previously been attacked by soldiers on the same land, an assault that caused fractures and bruises to various parts of his body.
In related news, Israeli occupation forces carried out several invasions across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem on Thursday, with the most serious incident occurring in Al‑Jalazone refugee camp, near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, where a child was shot in the head and remains in extremely critical condition.
Earlier Thursday, Israeli occupation forces carried out wide invasions across the occupied West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, abducting at least twenty-two of Palestinians, including two women and three children, after the soldiers broke into homes and ransacked their contents.
