Israeli occupation forces (IOF) rounded up three Palestinian citizens including a 17-year-old sick boy in various West Bank areas at dawn Sunday.

Local sources said that IOF soldiers detained Abdullah Farajallah to the west of Edhna village in Al-Khalil near the separation wall.

Other IOF soldiers arrested 17-year-old Baha’a Awad from his family home in Beit Ummar to the north of Al-Khalil after searching it, his family said, adding that Baha’a suffers from rheumatism and takes cortisone shots regularly. They warned that his health might deteriorate if he did not take his injections.

IOF soldiers also late last night arrested Ahmed Ulayan from Beit Eksa village to the north east of occupied Jerusalem at a military roadblock after a quarrel over his residence. The soldiers refused to allow him to pass into his village.

IOF patrols stormed four villages in Al-Khalil at an early hour on Sunday and installed road barriers, searching passing vehicles and citizens and checking their IDs at the pretext of looking for “wanted” citizens.
