Ma'an -- Israeli soldiers seized a Palestinian man at a military checkpoint at the entrance of the West Bank village of Jabara, south of the city of Tulkarem, on Sunday, according to Palestinian police.
Palestinian Authority police said in a statement that 35-year-old Yousef Mustafa Yousef Awad was detained after arguing with a soldier.
| It's rarely a good idea to argue with the police or soldiers. It's entirely too easy for consequences to develop, you see. |
The police also said that Israeli military checkpoints in West Bank villages caused a number of traffic jams as Palestinians traveled to visit friends and relatives on the Eid Al-Fitr holiday, which began on Sunday. |
