The Israeli occupation forces arrested on Sunday two Palestinians from the Balata refugee camp, in Nablus, as they attempted to cross a checkpoint on the Nablus-Ramallah road.

The two Palestinians were arbitrarily detained near the Za’tara military checkpoint, in a sweep targeting Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.

The occupation army cracked down on civilians passing through the area and searched homes, sparking terror among women and children.

The manhunt culminated in the detention of a number of Palestinian youths.
