The Israeli Occupation has arrested Monday the Secretary of the Fatah movement in Al-Quds, Shadi Mtour, after raiding his house in Beit Hanina, Al-Quds.

For months, Mtour has been subjected to continuous harassment by the Israeli occupation authorities. As part of the harassment campaign against him, the occupation stripped his wife of her residency permit into occupied Al-Quds a while back.

Mtour's arrest comes as part of an arrest campaign that has detained 20 Palestinians today and yesterday, Sunday, in the West Bank but mostly from Beit Lahm, according to local and security sources.

The sources revealed that Israeli forces rounded up eight Palestinians, including four fathers and their teenage sons, before raiding their houses in Al-Khader, south Beit Lahm. 

Alongside detaining three other Palestinians, the Israelis ransacked family homes in Al-Asakra, also south Beit Lahm. 

In Al-Khalil district, the sources confirmed that the Israeli occupation raided Taffuh, located 8 km west of Al-Khalil, resulting in another detention of a Palestinian man.
