The Israeli army kidnapped 7 Israeli peace activists as they protested against a flying checkpoint placed at the entry of a Palestinian village in the northern West Bank city of Nablus on Friday afternoon.
Palestinian sources reported that the army set a flying checkpoint at one of the entrances to Surra village. The villages main entrance was closed five years ago.
Protestors attempted to remove concrete blocks, but the soldiers prevented them, detained hundred of civilians and detained the Israeli left peace activists, later moving them from the area.
This protest was managed by Surra village residents and has ran for two consecutive weeks.
