RAMALLAH, April 27, 2011 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Wednesday arrested six Palestinians in raids of different parts of the West Bank, according to local sources.
Israeli soldiers arrested Adib Maslamani, 37, after breaking into his house and tampering with its contents in Tubas city north of the West Bank.
Palestinian Prisoner’s Club (PPC) said that Maslamani, who spent 18 years in Israeli prisons and was only released 6 months ago, suffers from a serious health condition and needs constant medical care.
Israeli forces also raided Awarta, a village southeast of Nablus in the north West Bank, opened fire, launched sound bombs, and inspected the family houses of two suspects in the murder in Itamar settlement nearby in March 2011.
Following the murder of five settlers in Itamar, Awarta was the target of a wide Israeli military operation, including raids, inspections and arrests. Twenty Palestinians are still detained.
