OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, Nov. 26, (ST)- Israeli occupation forces detained on Friday four Palestinians from various parts of the West Bank, according to local and security sources.
They said that Israeli occupation forces rounded up a Palestinian after breaking into his house and ransacking in Dheisha refugee camp, south of the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem.
The forces forcibly entered another house in the Bethlehem city neighborhood of As-Saff and two other houses in Husan village, west of the city, went inside and searched them, turning them upside down.
In Al-Quds [Jerusalem], Israeli occupation detained a 17-year-old teenager from Ras al-Amoud area in Silwan neighborhood, as reported by the Wadi Hilweh Information Center.
In the northern West Bank, the sources confirmed a similar raid in Kafr al-Labad village, east of Tulkarm city, resulting in the re-arrest of two former prisoners, a father and his son.
Israeli occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost on a daily basis across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians so triggering clashes with residents.
These raids, which take place also in areas under the full control of the Palestinian Authority, are conducted with no need for a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers, according to WAFA.
