RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – Two Palestinians were injured during an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, according to eyewitnesses.

Israeli forces raided the town of Qabatiya, near Jenin, to arrest two Palestinians wanted by Tel Aviv, the witnesses said.

One Palestinian was injured by Israeli fire, while another was run over by a military vehicle, medical sources said.

Israeli forces raided and searched a number of houses in the town, witnesses said.

According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society NGO, 11 Palestinians were detained by Israeli forces in raids in several areas in the West Bank on Wednesday.

There was no comment from the Israeli military on the report.

Tension has been running high across the West Bank in recent weeks amid repeated Israeli raids to detain what they say "wanted Palestinians" or to demolish Palestinian homes. The raids spark clashes with Palestinians, causing several fatalities.
