NABLUS, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed the village of Awarta southwest of Nablus on Wednesday night and rounded up around 100 of its inhabitants mostly women for questioning, local sources reported.

Eyewitnesses told the PIC that IOF soldiers in army vehicles stormed the village at night and roamed its streets before arresting tens of citizens reportedly 80 women and 20 men.

Village sources expected that the operation fell in line with repeated storming of the village ever since the Itamar attack in which five Israeli settlers of one family were slaughtered to death including children but the mystery of the murder was not solved as yet. News reports suggested that an Asian worker who was in disagreement with the head of the family over his wages might have committed the crime.
