On Wednesday, Israeli soldiers abducted a young man at a military roadblock at the southern entrance of Jericho city, in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank.
Local nonviolent activist, Ibrahim Abu Dahouk, said the soldiers abducted Yazan Fakhouri from the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp southwest of Jericho after stopping him at the roadblock.
He added that the soldiers stopped, searched dozens of cars, and interrogated many Palestinians while inspecting their ID cards.
Furthermore, dozens of soldiers surrounded the refugee camp before dozens of young men blockaded its entrances with rocks and barriers, anticipating the army’s invasion.
Jericho has been under strict siege for the last five days after several shots were fired at a restaurant run by illegal Israeli colonizers on stolen Palestinian lands south of Jericho. The Israeli army said it was still looking for the persons responsible for the shooting.
