Israeli forces detain senior Palestinian official during ambush in West BankThe Palestinian Information Center quoting local sources reported that plain-clothes soldiers abducted Husam al-Razza in Huwara area of northern Nablus as he was en route to Ramallah city on Sunday evening.
  
Also in 2018, Razza was forcibly taken away by Israeli forces and spent over a year in administrative detention, with no trial or indictment. At the time, he went on hunger strike for more than a month in protest at his arbitrary detention. 

Recently, Israeli soldiers disguised as municipal workers kidnapped Razza’s son, Bader, from his residence in Nablus. Bader had been taken prisoner several times in recent years.

Israeli forces frequently arrest Palestinians in large-scale raids after breaking into their homes across different neighborhoods in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds. The circumstances surrounding the kidnappings are not yet known, but the Israeli forces carry out such swoops on a nearly daily basis, taking away Palestinians, whom the regime usually accuses of acting against its so-called interests.
