The Ahrar Center for Detainees’ Studies and Human Rights reported that
Israeli soldiers kidnapped on Monday and Tuesday 26 Palestinians in
different parts of the occupied West Bank. Legislators and Hamas
leaders are among the kidnapped.
<p class="article"> The Ahrar center said that the army kidnapped, on
Tuesday at dawn, Zaher Mousa, a former political prisoner who was
previously exiled by Israel, from the Zawata village, near the northern
West Bank city of Nablus. The soldiers also kidnapped Dirar Hamadna,
from Aseera Al-Shamaliyya village near Nablus. <br>
<br>
Former political prisoner, head of the Ahrar Center, Fuad Al-Khoffash,
stated that the army is deliberately targeting Hamas elected officials
and legislators in the occupied West Bank in a move that is meant to
disrupt national reconciliation and unity. <br>
<br>
Al-Khuffash said that, starting on Monday at dawn, Israeli soldiers
escalated their arrest campaign against the Palestinians in the West
Bank, and kidnapped 26 persons, including Jerusalem legislator who was
exiled by Israel to Ramallah, Ahmad Attoun, Hebron district legislators
Hatem Qfeisha and Mohammad Ismail At-Till, and two senior Hamas
political officials from Nablus identified as Adnan Asfour and Bilal
Baker. <br>
<br>
Soldiers also kidnapped Riyadh Al-Walweel, a Hamas leader in Qalqilia,
Omar Al-Jabreeny, and Hamas official in the Balata refugee camp in
Nablus, and Adnan Al-Hosary.<br>
<br>
Al-Khuffash said that some of the residents who were kidnapped by the
army on Monday and Tuesday have been identified as, former political
prisoner Fadi Al-Amour from Tulkarem, Samir Bheiss from Yatta near
Hebron, Baha’ Yaish from Nablus, Mohsin Al-Hardan from Qalqilia,
Ma’moun Zawahra from Bethlehem, Zein Ed-Deen Shabana from Hebron, Wael
Issa Obeiyyat from Bethlehem, Mohammad Sabah from Teqoa’ near
Bethlehem, Basel Dweikat from Beta town, Jihad and Nidal Salah Badawi,
Mjally Zoheir Issa, Qaher Moammar, Shaker Mousa, Dirar Hamadna and
Zaher Mousa from Qaryout town.<br>
<br>
The latest invasions and arrests in the West Bank are considered a
serious escalation of attacks against the Palestinians and their
property in different parts of the occupied West Bank. <br>
<br>
Several Hamas officials, political leaders and human rights advocates
slammed the latest violations, and called on the International
Community to intervene and oblige Israel to end its violations.<br>
<br>
Also on Tuesday, medical sources in Nablus said that a Palestinian
child, who fell into a coma after being rammed by a settler’s vehicle,
died of his injuries. </p>
