Israeli occupation forces (IOF) soldiers on Thursday kidnapped the Palestinian human rights activist Ahlam Jawher, 30, at the Hawara roadblock at the entrance to Nablus while she was traveling outside the city.

Jawher, hailing from the Hawara village, is one of the activists in the field of human and prisoners' rights and was not arrested before.
