Israeli occupation forces (IOF) soldiers in a pre-dawn raid on Tuesday broke into and ransacked the home of detained MP Dr. Azzam Salhab in Al-Khalil city before kidnapping his son and son-in-law, local sources reported.

They said that an IOF force in 3 army jeeps encircled the home of Salhab, who has been detrained in occupation jails for almost three years, shortly after midnight Monday.

Wife of the lawmaker said that the force stayed for half an hour in the vicinity of the house before starting to throw stones at its windows and doors in order to wake them up. She said that her elder son Noman got out to see what they want and they took him in one of their jeeps after blindfolding and handcuffing him.

The soldiers then ordered all family members out of the house before ten of them stormed and wreaked havoc in it, the wife said.

She noted that another unit encircled the home of her son-in-law Bilal Al-Muhtaseb and then kidnapped him.

Two other citizens in the city were also rounded up by IOF troops who kidnapped last night and at dawn Tuesday 27 Palestinian young men in the West Bank including 20 in Bethlehem district.
