BETHLEHEM, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces at dawn Wednesday rounded up 16 Palestinians in various West Bank areas including one near Bethlehem who was wounded during the IOF incursion, locals reported.

 

A local source in Doheisha refugee camp south of Bethlehem said that a large IOF unit stormed the camp at dawn and broke into many homes while firing rubber-coated bullets at the civilian homes.

He added that Ahmed Al-Ja'bari was wounded in the shooting but was taken in custody despite his injury.

The remaining Palestinians were rounded up in Al-Khalil, Bethlehem and Tulkarem districts.

Two of those were university students in Bal'a village, Tulkarem district, who were deported from Jordan at the pretext that they were Hamas supporters.

Local sources said that the IOF soldiers wreaked havoc in both homes of the students before taking them away.
