Nine Palestinians seized in West Bank raids
Ma'an News, Oct 5, 2008

This article was originally published by Ma'an News and is republished with permission.

Israeli forces on Sunday early morning seized nine Palestinians in the West Bank for what the Israeli military claimed were "security" reasons.

According to the Israeli army, five of those arrested were from Ramallah in the central West Bank, and four were from Bethlehem in the south. Army sources have not revealed the identities of the those arrested.

Local Palestinian sources in Bethlehem said Israeli forces stormed the town of Tuqu east of Bethlehem and detained 33-year-old Umar Nawawra.

Separately, in Duheisha Refugee Camp, south of Bethlehem, another Israeli force raided the camp and seized 17-year-old Mustafa Al-Ghari and 18-year-old Murad Al-Ghari.

Invading Israeli forces also ransacked several homes overnight in both neighborhoods before arresting the three young men.
