JENIN, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) launched at dawn Thursday raid and search campaigns in three towns west of Jenin and arrested a citizen as clashes erupted in the town of Yamoun.
Local sources said that several military vehicles stormed the town of Yamoun and encircled the house of Said Shaaban, which led to the outbreak of violent confrontations during which the occupation forces fired bullets and stun grenades.
The sources pointed out that IOF soldiers raided the house of Said Shaaban, 52, using police dogs and then took him to the Israeli Salem army camp as a hostage until his son turns himself in to the occupation forces.
IOF troops also combed the center of Silat al-Harithiya village during which Palestinian youths threw stones and empty bottles at the invading forces.
In another context, the Israeli occupation authorities released on Thursday morning the two MPs of Change and Reform Bloc, Dr. Mohamed Abu Juhaisha and Dr. Azzam Salhab.
According to their families, the IOA decided not to extend their administrative custody after they appealed to the Israeli Supreme Court against administrative detention.
The IOA arrested Dr. Azzam Salhab and Abu Juhaisha in 2011 and held them in administrative detention that was renewed several times.
Meanwhile, the IOA released on Wednesday afternoon the MPs Dr. Hatem Rabah Kafisha, 50, and Dr. Mohammed Maher Badr, 55, from Al-Khalil after spending eighteen months in administrative detention in the Negev desert prison.
The released MPs were welcomed by a number of Palestinian MPs topped by speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council Dr. Aziz Dweik at Shamaa barrier.
IOF soldiers had arrested both MPs after besieging their homes in the city of Al-Khalil in 2010, and held them in administrative detention.
