Israeli forces invaded the Jenin refugee camp and the city of Jenin, in the northern West Bank, on Monday morning and abducted one Palestinian. Separately, two Palestinian men were taken from the Jenin checkpoint later in the day for alleged possession of weapons.
Early Monday morning, eyewitnesses reported Israeli jeeps and military vehicles patrolling through the alleyways of the Jenin refugee camp. No one was abducted, but the troops then proceeded into the city of Jenin, where they ransacked a number of houses and abducted Jamal Mahdi, taking him to an unknown location.
Later on Monday, Israeli forces detained two men at the checkpoint leading into the city of Jenin after searching their bags and finding pipe bombs and bullets, according to the Israeli military.
No further information was given on the identities of the two men, or where they were taken by the Israeli troops.
A week ago, the Israeli military sealed off the city of Jenin for several days after a Palestinian man was detained at the checkpoint to the city for alleged possession of 11 pipe bombs. Residents fear a similar closure will be imposed by the Israeli military this week, following the detention of the two men at the checkpoint on Monday.
