The home of a Hebron-area civilian was declared a closed military zone by Israeli forces early Tuesday morning, local officials reported.
The building, home to 20, located in the city of Dura, southwest of Hebron belongs to Raed Ash-Shahatit, city mayor Mustapha Ar-Rujoub told Ma'an.
Ar-Rajoub said all 20 residents, including women and children, were in the home, and said an additional ten men had been arrested and brought into the building in the dawn hours.
The additional detainees, Ar-Rajoub said, were taken as they approached or walked near the building. "The whole area has been hijacked by the troops," the mayor said, noting the area was often a target for Israeli forces.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said she was looking into the report.
