author Monday August 27, 2007 16:47author by Ghassan Bannoura - IMEMC News Report this post to the editors

The Israeli army invaded the village of Artas, south of Bethlehem city in the southern part of the West Bank, and kidnapped one civilian and his father on Monday afternoon.

Khaled Al Azza, the head of the popular land defense committee, said that soldiers invaded the village then surrounded the house of Awad Abu Soway, the coordinator of the committee in the village, and kidnapped him and his father.

Soway’s land was confiscated by the army several months ago to make way for a sewage system for a nearby Israeli settlement, after which he began to organize nonviolent protests against this practice.

Soway was kidnapped two months ago, but released after two days.
