At least 17 Palestinians have been abducted in a large scale Israeli crackdown in the the West Bank and Al-Quds.

According to the Palestinian Prisoners Society a 36-year-old pregnant woman is among those abducted. Nihal Mohammad Ribee was taken from her hometown of Yatta in the southern West Bank.

Meanwhile, a 23-year-old Tamer Nasharti has been declared dead. He succumbed to injuries sustained in an explosion in Jenin refugee camp last week.

In the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation regime has killed nearly 200 Palestinians this year. It includes 43 children.  The United Nations has said that the regime has killed the highest number of Palestinians in the West Bank in 16 years.  Local and international rights groups have condemned Israel’s excessive use of force and “shoot-to-kill policy” against Palestinians.
