TULKAREM, Wednesday, October 24, 2018 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Wednesday detained at least 12 Palestinians in multiple overnight raids across the West Bank, said witnesses and security sources.

Israeli forces raided Shweika area, north of Talkrem, detaining three Palestinians.

They also detained two others after breaking into and ransacking their homes in Beit Lid town, east of Tulkarem.

A similar raid was reported in the eastern neighborhood of the northern West Bank city, where soldiers detained a Palestinian.

In Qalqilia district, forces conducted a raid into Kafr Laqif town, east of Qalqilia city, detaining a Palestinian, violently searched several homes and interrogating their owners.

This came as Israeli troops raided Arraba town, southwest of  the northern West Bank city of Jenin, thoroughly ransacking dozens of civilian houses and interrogating owners, particularly in Ras Ash-Shamali neighborhood.

Meanwhile, Israeli police raided the East Jerusalem neighborhood of al-Issawiya, detaining three Palestinians, including two minors.

In Bethlehem district, soldiers conducted a predawn raid into Azzeh refugee camp, north of the city, where they detained a Palestinian.

Israeli forces conduct overnight detention raids almost on a daily basis across the West Bank, triggering clashes with residents.

Clashes often erupt between Palestinian youth who attempt to block soldiers’ passage, throwing stones and empty bottles and are met with live fire, rubber-coated steel bullets and tear gas canisters, often resulting in serious, sometimes fatal, injuries.
