JENIN, (PIC)--

The IOF troops kidnapped at night Wednesday Shaikh Ibrahim Jabr, 45, one of the prominent Hamas leaders in the Jenin refugee camp, just one month after he was released from the PA intelligence jails in Ramallah.

Palestinian local sources told the PIC reporter that a large number of IOF troops stormed the camp, and surrounded and ransacked the Sheikh's house before kidnapping him.

In another context, the Palestinian families of prisoners in occupied Jerusalem appealed to all human rights and legal institutions to urgently intervene to put an end to the arbitrary measures taken by the Israeli courts against their sons.

The Jerusalemite families stated that the Israeli courts issue unfair high sentences against their sons at the pretext of committing "treason" against the security of Israel, adding that one of the arbitrary measures is that these courts impose hefty fines up to $1,500 and sometimes more than that on their sons.

The Asrana legal center said that the IOA deliberately excludes Jerusalemite prisoners from any agreement or deal to release prisoners at the pretext that they hold Israeli IDs, pointing out that the number of the Jerusalemite prisoners are more than 650 Palestinians including 140 under age 18.

RAMALLAH, (PIC)--

A special unit of the Israeli occupation forces disguised in traditional Palestinian women attire on Wednesday abducted a member of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (AMB), the armed wing of Fateh faction, in downtown Ramallah.

Palestinian sources in the city said that the AMB member Arafat Nofel, 24, was among those "pardoned" by the Israeli occupation authority according to an agreement with the Ramallah authority.

Witnesses said that the Israeli special force arrived in the city in a civilian car with Palestinian plates and kidnapped Nofel in front of Shaikh Zayed Mosque in the city.

Palestinian sources said that Nofel had served seven months in PA intelligence jails in the West Bank within the deal between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli Occupation Government. He was released a few days ago and informed that he was pardoned.
