Israeli occupation troops abducted 117 Palestinian citizens from Jerusalem, 25 others from Ramallah and al-Bireh, 80 others from Hebron, 28 others from Jenin and 30 others Bethlehem.   

Meanwhile, nine Palestinian citizens were arrested by Israeli occupation forces from Nablus, 13 from Tulkarm, ten from Qalqilia, six from Jericho, four from Tubas, and four from Salfit, in addition to 15 others from the Gaza Strip.
