This morning, Tuesday 21st February, Israeli forces raided several houses in Aqaba village, Tubas district and arrested a Palestinian.

Israeli forces also arrested youth Kathem Munther Obaid from Haddasa hospital in al-Issawiyah.

Locals told Palestinian newswire, Wafa, that soldiers with military vehicles raided al-Issawiyah in East Jerusalem and raided several houses in Obeid's neighborhood. They entered Munther Obaid's house looking for his son Kathem who was in Haddasa hospital for treatment. They then headed directly to the hospital and arrested him.

His family said that Kathem was released from an Israeli prison last week and they don't know the reason behind his most recent arrest or where the soldiers took him to.

Eyewitnesses said that Israeli forces also raided the house of Jamil Mohammad Muhaisen from al-Issawiyeh at dawn and arrested him while Israeli intelligence summoned Palestinian youths for interrogation.
