[Iran Press TV Latest] Israeli army soldiers have arrested and taken as many as fifteen Palestinians into custody following pre-dawn raids in a number of occupied West Bank towns. According to the Palestinian Information Center, those detained in Thursday's overnight operations were from the cities of Jenin, Nablus, Ramallah, as well as Tubas. A large number of Israeli troops cordoned off and ransacked the residents' houses in the towns, in pursuit of 'key documents.'
The Israeli army regularly arrests Palestinians during overnight raids 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' taken for interrogation.
More than 11,500 Palestinians, including women and children, are currently imprisoned in Israeli detention facilities under harsh and life-threatening circumstances.
