Israeli soldiers raided the home of Dirar Alian, a 59-year-old Palestinian professor and British citizen, on Wednesday night. Alian, who is the president of the Nablus University for Professional and Technological Training, was assaulted by soldiers who entered his apartment despite knowing his nephew, a wanted individual, lived upstairs. Alian described waking up to blows to his chest and neck in the dark, initially believing it was a nightmare. When he asked for the light to be turned on, he saw approximately five masked soldiers in his room. He believes one of them may have been a Shin Bet officer, though this was not explicitly stated. "If you are looking for someone, ask where he is. Why beatings?" Alian questioned, according to the report.
