Israeli forces have arrested Amin Abu Alia, the head of the local council, after three days of consecutive raids on the al-Mughayyir village in the occupied West Bank’s Ramallah, Al Jazeera reports.
Israeli soldiers first arrested his son after they raided his house and informed the family that he needed to surrender himself. Abu Alia then said during a live broadcast on Facebook that he would surrender, and was taken by Israeli forces at the entrance to the village.
