RAMALLAH, Sunday, August 25, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli forces raided for the third consecutive day a number of villages to the west of Ramallah and seized tapes from the street surveillance cameras installed by shops in these villages, said local sources.

Eyewitnesses told WAFA Israeli forces raided the villages of Ein Arik, Ein Qinya, Ras Karkar, and Deir Bzee’, as well as parts of Beitunia city, and seized tapes from the street surveillance cameras installed by shops in these villages.

Forces reportedly set up a flying checkpoint between Beitunia and Ein Arik as well as at the entrance of Ras Karkar village, stopping passing Palestinian registered cars and checking passengers identity cards.

The raids and seizure of the cameras are believed related to the Israeli army investigation into the explosion on Friday near the village of Ein Arik that killed one Israeli settler and injured two others.
