A statement released by the Israeli army claimed that four wanted Palestinians were arrested during campaigns in the West Bank.

According to local sources, the IOF kidnaped a young man called Mahmoud Zahran from his home in Deir Abu Masha'al village, west of Ramallah.

The IOF also stormed Beit Ummar town in al-Khalil and kidnaped a citizen called Ali al-Allami two weeks after demolishing his unfinished house.
