An official of the Tubas Governorate, Moataz Basharat, said the occupation forces detained An’ad Hassan Mustafa Rabaya and Saleh Yousef Khanifis, who confronted the settlers who tried to steal cows belonging to a local resident.
WAFA said the settlers established a colonial outpost west of the village about two weeks ago, and since then they have begun carrying out attacks and acts of provocation against the local Palestinians.
Dozens Detained
Israeli occupation forces detained at least 45 people, including former detainees, a woman, and a child, in the occupied West Bank during the past 24 hours, WAFA reported.
The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said in a joint statement that the detention operations were concentrated in the cities of Hebron (Al-Khalil), Nablus, Tubas, Tulkarm, Ramallah, and Jerusalem, accompanied by abuse, assaults and threats against detainees and their families, in addition to vandalism and destruction of homes.
