<p style="font-size:10pt;">NABLUS, (PIC)&#8211; An eighty-year-old  woman was arrested as the Israel occupation force (IOF) causes havoc in  Awarta village near Nablus in search for the killers of a family of five  Jewish settlers in nearby Itamar.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">A burst of arrests took place after the IOF  enforced a curfew on the village for the second straight day. Israeli  soldiers continue to conduct repeated searches on homes, and have been  deliberately destroying furniture and other contents, said Awarta mayor  Qais Awwad.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">”No house, alley, field or mosque has been  spared from being raided and searched by the IOF after five settlers  from the Itamar settlement were declared dead on March 15,” said Awarta  researcher Salahuddin Awwad.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Some villagers incurred heavy material  losses after the army brought in vehicles and police dogs and raided  most of the homes in the village, he added.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">According to his figures, more than 500  Palestinians were arrested in the village this month, including nearly  200 women and several elderly and sick people as well as children.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He said that 71 of those arrestees have  been kept in detention including a 15-year-old girl, who was arrested  alongside her father and her mother.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">An 80-year-old woman said military jeeps  raided her home on April 6 and arrested her and her husband before they  were taken to the Hawara military camp and directly accused of the  Itamar murders. She said she was taken to a room to be photographed and  fingerprinted and returned to the village after four hours in the cold.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">She added that four of daughters, their  husbands, her sons and their wives were arrested and returned in the  morning after ten hours of detention and questioning</p>
