Raids and incursions into citizens' homes in the West Bank

Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Burqin, west of Jenin, at dawn on Saturday.

Local sources said that occupation forces stormed the town with military reinforcements, raided a number of homes, searched them, and ransacked their contents.

The same sources added that the occupation forces raided the homes of released prisoners, the owners of which were identified as: Abdul Latif Hamada and Sultan Khalouf.

It is noteworthy that the occupation forces frequently raid Khalouf's house under the pretext of searching for him and attempting to arrest him.

In Bethlehem, Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, this Saturday morning, without any arrests being reported.

It is noteworthy that the occupation forces are still holding the body of the martyr Rabi' Muhammad Yusuf Taqatqa (31 years old), who was executed yesterday evening, near the town.

The Factions Coordination Committee in Bethlehem Governorate declared a general strike today in the town of Beit Fajjar and a period of mourning throughout the governorate, in protest against the crime of field executions and in rejection of the policy of withholding the bodies of martyrs.
