JENIN, Wednesday, October 31, 2018 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Wednesday detained at least three Palestinians during multiple raids across the northern West Bank, said security sources and Palestine Prisoner’s Society (PPS).

Israeli forces raided Faqqua village, east of Jenin, detaining a former prisoner after violently searching his house.

A similar raid was reported in Silat al-Harithiya village, northwest of Jenin, where soldiers ransacked at least two houses and subjected their inhabitants to interrogation.

Meanwhile, forces conducted a raid into Zeita town, north of Tulkarem, where they detained a Palestinian after breaking into his house.

In Nablus district, a similar military raid was carried out in Burqa village, northwest of Nablus city, where soldiers detained a Palestinian and searched several houses.

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.

Some 6,500 Palestinians continue to languish in Israeli detention facilities, including scores of women and hundreds of minors.
