NAZARETH, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation forces detained and beat up tens of Palestinian workers over the past couple of days while trying to find jobs in the 1948 occupied Palestinian land, the Palestinian Workers Union said on Friday.
PWU added in a statement that the Israeli border police forces launched a campaign of arrests in lines of those workers despite some of them having work permits.
It said that Israeli intelligence officers confiscated work permits of some of those workers and prevented them from returning to their work places in 1948 occupied Palestine.
The Union warned of Israeli summary trials against those workers, adding that heavy fines were imposed on them.
