Completing What Abbas and Fayyad Had Started, IOF troops wage campaign of piracy against Palestinian exchangers

"NABLUS, (PIC)-- The IOF troops on Monday night waged a wide campaign of piracy against Palestinian exchange stores in various parts of the West Bank cities and confiscated their contents and a huge sum of money.

The IOF troops raided more than 20 stores in each of Al-Khalil, Nablus, Tulkarem and Jenin after they stormed the owners' houses and kidnapped many of them to an unknown destination.

In Al-Khalil, the IOF troops confiscated computers, documents, and money from the store of exchanger Fadel Abdeen and decided to close it for six months.

In Jenin, 20 Israeli armored vehicles invaded the city storming and ransacking the houses of a number of Palestinian exchangers, where they stormed the house of Mohamed Al-Saadi and confiscated checks, bonds and identity papers and kidnapped other exchangers in the city before closing their stores.

In Nablus, local sources said that the IOF troops stormed and ransacked the houses of eight exchangers and took them by force to their stores amid cold and rain, and then they confiscated the contents of their stores and took them in chains to an unknown destination.

The IOF troops informed the Palestinian exchangers, whose stores were raided, that there is a decision issued by their commander in the West Bank to close their stores for six months at the pretext that they transferred funds to the Palestinian resistance factions."
