Israeli army arrested 17 Palestinians in an overnight raid on the West Bank, Palestinian security sources said Thursday.
The sources said the detentions took place in West Bank cities of Ramallah, Nablus and Hebron and the detainees were taken for interrogation at Israeli detention facilities inside a West Bank settlement.
Israeli radio also reported that the troops detained 17activists from various factions, claiming they were wanted by Israel.
Israel carries out almost daily incursions into West Bank towns to search for the wanted Palestinian activists. The arrest campaign did not stop even though the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) has applied a security-restoration plan in coordination with Israel.
In addition, the Israeli army also arrested four people from villages near Jerusalem in two raids, Israel's radio reported. The report said that another 17-year-old girl was arrested by the police after being summoned to the police station in eastern Jerusalem.
