Well-known reporter Samer Khuwaira was taken from his home in the occupied West Bank’s Nablus in the early hours of this morning, as Israel’s military carries out a major incursion and home expulsions in the nearby Balata refugee camp.

Israeli forces have also stormed the Old City in central Nablus, as military vehicles have deployed in front of the Ajaj Mosque and ground forces have been stationed around the Great Salah al-Din Mosque, according to reports.
