Two Palestinians kidnapped by Israeli military forces in a pre-dawn invasion on Monday from al Far'aa refugee camp, east of West Bank city of Nablus.

Israeli Forces randomly rained the camp with heavy fire during the invasion and besieged the camp from several directions, barring any movement in or outside the camp until the morning.

Eyewitnesses reported that at least 20 military vehicles invaded the camp and besieged it, while other military vehicles closed some roads into the camp.

Eyewitness also reported there had been a paratrooper operation in the area which invaded residents homes, ransacked them, and resulted in two Palestinian men being kidnapped.

Sources later identified the abductees as Azam Jawabra,44 and Iyad Sarhan,37 and both were moved to an undisclosed detention center.
