On Friday at dawn, Israeli soldiers abducted at least four Palestinians, including a father and his son, in Hebron, Bethlehem, and Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.
In Beit Kahil town, north of Hebron in the occupied West Bank’s southern part, the soldiers stormed and ransacked several homes and abducted Rafat Rasmi Al-Asafra.
The soldiers also invaded Beit Awwa town, south of Hebron, before storming and violently searching homes belonging to Palestinians from the Al-Masalma family.
It is worth mentioning that the soldiers continued the closure of all streets leading to Hebron with iron gates and escalated the restrictions in neighborhoods of Hebron’s Old City by installing additional electronic gates and military roadblocks.
In Bethlehem, the soldiers invaded several parts of the city, searched homes, and abducted a young man, Samed Bassam Shalash.
The soldiers also invaded Al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem, especially the Al-Bawwaba area, before firing many gas bombs and concussion grenades to force the Palestinians to leave the streets.
Al-Khader has been subject to daily invasions during which the soldiers stormed and ransacked dozens of homes and shops, detained and interrogated scores of residents, and fired live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, concussion grenades, and gas bombs.
In Nablus, in the northern West Bank, the soldiers invaded and ransacked several homes in the city, especially the western areas, before abducting Amjad Manna’ and his son, Mohammad.
In related news, the soldiers detained and interrogated a Palestinian at a military roadblock south of Nablus.
On Thursday evening, the soldiers invaded the home of detainee, Khader Shawqi Halabi, 47, in occupied Jerusalem, and ordered his family not to celebrate his release or hold festive activities upon his anticipated release as part of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
Khader was abducted in April 2002 and was tortured and interrogated for several months before an Israeli court sentenced him to 28 years in prison.
