The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) has reported that Israeli soldiers abducted, on Monday at dawn, six Palestinians in the West Bank governorates of Jenin, Tulkarem and Hebron, in addition to detaining, and interrogating, six other near Nablus.

The Jenin office of the PPS, in northern West Bank, said the soldiers invaded many homes in Jenin city, Jenin refugee camp, and Zabbouba town, and abducted two Palestinians identified as Sabri Mohammad Sabri, and Yazan Hannoun, from Jenin and its refugee camp, after violently searching their homes.

The soldiers also stopped and searched dozens of cars at the junction between Rommana and Zabbouba towns and interrogated many Palestinians while inspecting their ID cards.

In Tulkarem, in northern West bank, dozens of soldiers invaded ‘Anabta town, east of the city, searched homes and abducted Yousef Islam Abu Rayya, Ibrahim Ayman Najjar and Wa’el Mahmoud Shehada.

In related news, the soldiers invaded the al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya village, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, and detained six Palestinians for several hours, after invading their homes and searching them.

They have been identified as Mohannad Ghaleb ‘Oweiss, 38, Mousa Ali ‘Oweiss, 31, Jihad Abdul-Salam ‘Oweiss, 16, Sarhan Rif’at Daraghma, 16, Abdullah Ghassan Daraghma, 21, and Khattab Mohammad Daraghma, 16.

They were taken to various locations, and were interrogated for several hours, before the soldiers released them.

In related news, the soldiers invaded many Palestinian communities in several parts of the southern West Bank governorate of Hebron, searched dozens of homes, and abducted six Palestinians, in addition to summoning two others for interrogation, and installing roadblocks.

On Sunday evening, the Israeli army said it arrested one Palestinian who was reportedly attempting to enter Itamar illegal colony, near Nablus, and added that the soldiers were searching for another Palestinian.
