RAMALLAH, May 2, 2018 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Wednesday detained eight Palestinians, including a disabled former prisoner, during multiple overnight raids across the West Bank, said the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS).

Israeli forces raided Yaabad town, south of Jenin, where they detained a disabled former prisoner who reportedly spent 10 years in Israeli jails. Two of the detainee’s sons, including a child, are already imprisoned.

They also detained a Palestinian during a subsequent raid into Nazlet Zeid village in Yaabad.

Another Palestinian was detained as he attempted to cross Zaatara military checkpoint, south of Nablus. His father is reportedly sentenced to 27 years in imprisonment.

Forces also detained a Palestinian during a similar raid into Araqa village, west of Jenin.

Elsewhere in the northern West Bank, forces detained a Palestinian after stopping him at a military roadblock near Qana Valley.

Meanwhile, troops conducted a raid into Beit Ummar town, north of Hebron, detaining three Palestinians.

Muhammad Awad, a local activist, said that Israeli troops broke into and ransacked at least two homes during the raid, wreaking havoc into their content.

Separately, Israeli authorities have issued administrative detention orders against 39 Palestinians during the second half of April.

Mahmoud Halaby, an attorney representing PPS, pointed out that among the detention orders were 23 orders issued against Palestinians detained for the first time or re-detained.
