[Monday at Dawn, January 6, 2014] Dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded the Kufur Ni’ma village, west of the central West Bank city of Ramallah, and kidnapped a Palestinian journalist.

Local sources have reported that the soldiers violently broke into the house of Mohammad Omar Ad-Deek, 24, searched the property, causing excessive damage, and kidnapped him.

The Cultural and Central Media Committee of the Popular Struggle Front, said that the abduction of Ad-Deek, is another assault against the Palestinian journalist and Freedom of Speech.
