</a></font>The International Solidarity Institution for Human Rights
reported that Israeli soldiers have been recently invading Palestinians
area, breaking into homes at night and kidnapping Palestinian youths, in
order to train new army recruits.<br><br>
The Institution stated in a press release on Sunday that “Israeli
soldiers invaded recently several towns, villages and refugee camps in
the occupied West Bank, kidnapped dozens of ordinary civilians, took them
to military bases, and release them later on, as part of a new field
training program for the soldiers”.<br><br>
It added that, as part of this training, eight Palestinians were
kidnapped a few days ago in Kafr Qaleel village, east of the northern
West Bank city of Nablus, and a similar number of residents in Sorra
village, west of Nablus, and released them after the training was
concluded.<br><br>
The soldiers caused excessive damage to the homes of the kidnapped
residents, as this “training” included conducting home invasions and
searches, and conducted these attacked after midnight and early dawn
hours. <br><br>
The Institution further stated that this practice “turns the Palestinian
homes into training fields and a lab to train Israeli military officers
and recruits on invasion and search techniques, in addition to providing
the soldiers with interrogation skills by practicing on innocent
civilians”. <br><br>
