RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) - Israeli forces detained 11 Palestinians in overnight raids carried out across the occupied West Bank, according to the Israeli military on Wednesday.
The individuals were arrested for “suspected involvement in popular terrorist activities”, the army said in a statement, without elaborating on the nature of the activities.
The Israeli forces frequently carry out wide-ranging arrest campaigns across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians.
According to Palestinian figures, more than 5,700 Palestinians continue to languish in Israeli detention facilities, including 48 women and 230 minors.
