The West Bank city of Nablus and nearby refugee camps ,are still under daily invasions during which the Israeli army arrested dozens of youths.

The Israeli army on Friday began its occupation of several buildings around Nablus . In one instance, the soldiers used a two -room apartment on the eighth floor of the Al Sharif building as a sniper's nest. They took 15 people captive and forced them to remain seated on the floor for two days. The captives were between three and seventy years old.
