NABLUS, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have arrested Suhaib, 23, and Safa'a Al-Masri, 20, son and daughter of Nablus municipal council member Khulud Al-Masri while returning from medical treatment in Jordan on Tuesday. Suhaib, an American university graduate, and his sister Safa'a, a student at Najah university, both underwent laser operations for their eyes. Family members said that Suhaib was taken to Petah Tikwa for interrogation and was deprived of visits while Safa'a was carried to Hasharon jail in northern occupied Palestine. They urged human rights groups to intervene and secure the release of both because of their need of medical follow up after their operation, which they underwent only a week ago. The IOF soldiers had arrested their mother Khulud Al-Masri for a few months without any charge or trial. Her husband was previously imprisoned in IOF jails.
