Israeli occupation forces abducted three Palestinian civilians Thursday night from the Al-Maleh community in the Northern Plains of the Jordan Valley, in the occupied West Bank, following an assault by illegal paramilitary colonizers.
Kamal Bani Odah, Director of the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) in Tubas, stated that the paramilitary colonizers, backed by Israeli forces, attacked the home of Tareq Ka’abna.
He added that Israeli soldiers then stormed the residence and abducted three Palestinians; Tariq, Abdu and Ali Ka’abna.
Local sources reported that on Thursday evening, colonizers invaded the community, fired shots into the air, and terrorized residents, especially children.
The sources also said that the colonizers also vandalized property and attempted to steal livestock from citizens’ barns.
Communities across the northern Jordan Valley continue to endure escalating, daily violence at the hands of colonizers who target Palestinian homes and families with impunity.
