JORDAN VALLEY, October 1, 2014 – (WAFA) – Israeli forces arrested Wednesday noon six Palestinians from across the West Bank governorates, in addition to two others from the Jerusalem area, said activists and municipal sources.

Israeli forces raided al-Maleh in the Jordan Valley, where they arrested five Palestinians who were renovating their rainwater-harvesting wells and withheld their vehicle, said Head of al-Malih Local Council ‘Aref Daraghmeh.

Forces had attacked farmers in the same area earlier this week.

Meanwhile, forces raided Khirbet al-Tawil, an area in the Nablus village of Aqraba, where they arrested an activist.

Troops arrested a 36-year-old Palestinian activist, who is a member of the anti-settlement popular committee, while he was along with other people making an inspection tour around Khirbet al-Tawil following the destruction of the power grid by the Israeli forces last Monday, said member of the anti-settlement popular committee, Hamza Deireya.

Israeli forces raided the area Monday and destroyed the electricity poles and wires.

Meanwhile in Jerusalem, Israeli police arrested two Palestinians; a youth and a woman. The youth was arrested from the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, while the woman was arrested while she attempted to enter into the mosque.
