Israeli army soldiers have taken as many as seven Palestinians into custody following pre-dawn raids in a number of occupied West Bank towns.
According to the Ma’an news agency, those detained in the late Sunday operations were from the cities of Beit Lahm (Bethlehem), Ariha (Jericho) and the nearby villages.
The Israeli army regularly arrests Palestinians during overnight operations in West Bank towns. The detentions are in flagrant violation of a security agreement with the Palestinian National Authority.
Tel Aviv claims that those arrested in the raids are ‘wanted activists’ and taken for interrogation.
More than 11,500 Palestinians, including women and children, are currently imprisoned in Israeli detention facilities, suffering harsh and life-threatening conditions.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Authority security forces have detained at least 5 members of the Islamic Hamas Movement in the West Bank.
Hamas, in a statement, announced that the men were taken from their homes in Qalqiliya, Tulkarem and Jenin.
The recent detentions come as part of a crackdown that the Palestinian Authority has launched on Hamas affiliates in the West Bank.
I am the one of those who rally against the status quo: The Capitalist Hegemony. I take side with those who are oppressed world-wide. The Capitalists should end intervention in the Muslim World. If not, resistance is inevitable by any means possible. As promised through revelation, they will rise Caliphate which is feared and prevented by the Capitalist power. Capitalist agents/ puppet rulers will be removed throughout the Muslim World.
