Israeli soldiers carried out, earlier Monday, massive and violent invasions, and searches of homes in Beit Ummar town, north of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, abducted two Palestinians and summoned one for interrogation.
Local activist, Mohammad Awad, said several army jeeps invaded Khallet al-‘Ein and ‘Aseeda areas in Beit Ummar, before searching many homes, and abducted Hammad Ahmad Abu Mariya, 35, and Mohammad Wahid Abu Mariya, 21.
He added that the soldiers cuffed and blindfolded the two Palestinians before moving them to Etzion military base and security center, north of Hebron.
During the invasions of homes, the soldiers forced the family of Ahmad Rashid Sabarna into one room in their property, while searching and ransacking it, and summoned his son, a former political prisoner, identified as Hatem Sabarna, for interrogation.
