Israeli forces arrest 18 Palestinians in raids across West Bank
Israeli forces have detained 18 Palestinians and injured several others in several raids across the occupied West Bank.
Wafa News Agency reported that Israeli forces raided Jalazone refugee camp, north of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, and arrested two Palestinians at their homes overnight on Wednesday.
The raids sparked clashes with the residents of the area, during which Israeli troops fired barrages of tear gas and stun grenades.
To the northwest of Ramallah, two other Palestinians were arrested by Israeli soldiers who stormed and ransacked their houses in Kafr Ni'ma town.
They also raided Bili‘in village, west of the city, arresting another Palestinian.
In Nablus, Israeli military vehicles stormed al-Ma‘ajin neighborhood. A resident was arrested during the raid.
Two others were detained in separate raids in Rujeib and Beit Dajan villages, southeast and east of Nablus City.
Meanwhile, undercover Israeli forces infiltrated into the Jenin refugee camp and kidnapped a resident identified as Ashraf al-Qaisi.
Uniform soldiers later stormed the camp in Jenin and opened fire at the residents who attempted to block their passage, wounding three, including a woman.
Israeli forces carried out similar raids in Anzah village and Arraba town, southwest of Jenin, and detained three Palestinians.
In the southern part of the West Bank, Israeli soldiers stormed the Dheisheh refugee camp, south of Bethlehem City, and arrested two teens at their houses.
The arrests sparked clashes with soldiers and a Palestinian young man was hit by live ammunition fired by the Israeli troops.
Three other Palestinians were detained in Husan and Artas villages in Bethlehem Province.
Moreover, Israeli forces detained a Palestinian during a raid in the southern part of al-Khalil (Hebron) city.
The Israeli military frequently carries out wide-ranging arrest campaigns across the West Bank under the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians.
More than 7,000 Palestinians are reportedly held in Israeli jails. Hundreds have been incarcerated under the practice of administrative detention, which allows holding Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons without trial or charge.
Some Palestinian prisoners have even been held in administrative detention for up to eleven years.
