Meanwhile, forces ordered the father of 20-year-old Wafa Qabaha to hand over his son for intelligence interrogation at Salem army camp to the north of Jenin, under the pretext of being ‘wanted’. The forces threatened the father to punish him if he does not hand him over.

Forces have recently conducted military drills in the Nablus village of Khirbet al-Tawil amidst Palestinian wheat crops as well as in the northern Jordan Valley.

In preparation for such drills, forces frequently prevent Palestinian farmers' access to their lands by placing checkpoints, barriers and declaring areas as military training zones.

Such military drills constitute a part of Israel’s policy to forcibly displace Palestinian and dispossess them.
