RAMALLAH, January 15, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces detained a young man today at the entrance to Nabi Saleh, northwest of Ramallah.

WAFA correspondent said that the occupation forces detained Laith Raslan al-Asmar, 33, from the town of Beit Rima, while he was passing through a military checkpoint at the entrance to Nabi Saleh.
