Bethlehem – Ma’an – The Israeli military said it detained 13 Palestinians during early morning raids in the West Bank on Tuesday.

According to Israel, the so-called “wanted” Palestinians were taken from the Ramallah and Tulkarem areas, and were “taken to investigation centers.”

Local Palestinain sources in the village of Ni’lin, near Ramallah, said that Israeli troops seized, during a dawn raid, Sa’dat Ibrahim Mustafa Amira, Hamada Abdel Raziq Khawaja, Ibrahim Khalil Ad-Dik Srour and Mahmoud Abdul Allah Amir.

Ni’lin is known for its political activism, particularly a weekly demonstration against Israel’s separation wall, which is being build on the village’s land.

Eleven Palestinians were detained on Monday morning.
