BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers raided the town of al-Khadr south of Bethlehem Sunday and questioned several civilians on the street, locals and the town mayor said.
Intelligence officers in plain clothes stopped several young men around noon under the protection of armed troops, witnesses told Ma’an.
Tawfiq Salah, the mayor of al-Khadr, told Ma’an he attempted to intervene to prevent the officers from questioning residents, but that soldiers forcibly distanced him.
Salah denounced what he described as “aggression” against the residents of al-Khadr, adding that Israeli forces had been storming the town on a near daily basis and harassing passersby in the streets.
An Israeli army spokeswoman told Ma’an she was looking into the incident
