Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Za’atara, east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, earlier Saturday, before assaulting siblings and a woman in their homes.

Media sources said several Israeli military vehicles invaded Za’atara before breaking into and ransacking a few homes.

The sources added that the soldiers stormed the home of Mohammad Issa al-Wahsh, before assaulting his sons Baha (33) and Issa (32), leaving them with multiple bruises across their bodies.

Also, a Palestinian woman, Marwa Mousa Jobran, suffered suffocation after inhaling toxic tear gas fired heavily by the forces around her house.

In Nablus, in the occupied West Bank’s northern part, the soldiers abducted nine Palestinians, including legislator Jamal at-Tirawi and his sons Mohammad Khaled and Abdul-Hamid, after violently storming and searching their home.
