RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces blew up part of a home and detained three Palestinians during a nighttime raid on Ramallah early Friday, including one reportedly wanted for involvement in stabbing two Israeli policemen in Jerusalem last week.

Sources said that Israeli forces surrounded a home in the upscale Masyoun neighborhood of Ramallah before using explosives against the structure.

They then entered the house and detained two young men, one of whom was identified as Moussa Muhammad al-Ajlouni, while the other was still unidentified.

Israeli media reports later identified al-Ajlouni as a suspect in the stabbing of two Israeli policeman last week.

According to the reports, both of the youths detained were East Jerusalem residents.

A third Palestinian was also detained by Israeli forces during the raid after clashes broke out in the area.

Sources said that he was assaulted by Israeli soldiers, who beat him with their rifles, before dragging him to a military vehicle and taking him away.

His health condition was not immediately clear.

An Israeli military spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.
