Israeli forces escalated their brutality in the streets of Nablus City at dawn Wednesday. Israeli soldiers are now taking mothers and wives of men the Israelis have on their “wanted” list to detention centers. The purpose is to force the men to “surrender.”

Throughout the morning dozens of Nablus women have disappeared. Several elderly and young women are included in the list of the arrested.

Eyewitnesses told PNN that Israeli soldiers broke into several mosques under the pretext of searching for those “wanted.” Israelis soldiers also forced families out of their houses in order to search them and broke into the Al Shashtri Building, forcing the apartment building’s residents into the streets.

The northern West Bank city remains under closure today as well.
