At least seven Palestinian youngsters were rounded up while dozens were severely injured in clashes with the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) across the West Bank at dawn Sunday. According to a PIC correspondent, the IOF nabbed two Palestinian youths from Bethlehem, south of the West Bank, and dragged them to an unidentified destination after having stormed the city at dawn on Sunday and rummaged through their family homes.
A series of checkpoints were randomly erected along West Bank roads, where the IOF searched Palestinians’ vehicles and checked the identity cards of young passers-by under the security pretext.
The Palestinian Prisoner Society said the IOF had arrested three Palestinians from Nablus on Saturday and carried them to an unknown destination.
A large Israeli occupation patrol stormed al-Salam Street, in al-Khalil, and launched a round of arbitrary search campaigns in the area.
In a related development, Israeli gunfire discharged a couple of days ago in Bethlehem amputated the right hand of a Palestinian youth and left dozens of others severely injured in a round of clashes that burst out at the northern entrance to the city.
The IOF attacked a Hamas-backed pro-Gaza rally with live ammunition, rubber bullets, and tear gas. The march was initiated from Omar Ibn al-Khatab Mosque and joined by thousands of Palestinian civilians, lifting pro-Hamas banners and calling for revenge for civilians murdered in Gaza.
The security apparatuses of the Palestinian Authority nabbed two Palestinian youths, identified as Ayman Da’amsa and Hareth al-Yamani, and confiscated their cars right after the end of the rally.
Two Palestinian young men were heavily beaten up by the IOF Sunday dawn after they were stopped at al-Jalama and Barta’a military checkpoints, north of Jenin, and were interrogated for hours.
Local sources said the IOF erected military checkpoints across Jenin roads, provocatively interrogating citizens and checking their IDs
