Ramallah – Ma’an – Israeli soldiers detained eight Palestinians, including two children, during raids on West Bank cities on Friday.

Palestinian police reported that raids on the village of Kufr Ad-Dik near salfit where soldiers searched the houses of Fayez Odeh, Iyad At-Tork, and Musleh Nayeh Ad-Dik stealing 4,500 JD and 14,000 NIS.

Near Nablus, a group of Israeli soldiers raided the villages of Burin, Madama, and Asira detaining 17-year-olds Khaled Al-Qut and Saed Awada.

In Burin, Israeli settlers burned parts of Imad Khaled Omran’s house and attempted to detain him before villagers and civil defense forces intervened to stop the seizure. However settlers took his name, phone number, and are still present in the village.

In Jenin, Israeli forces detained Saleh Samudy from the village of Al-Yamun while he was passing a checkpoint between Anbata and Ennab.

Troops overran Azzun and surrounded a local school detaining 14-year-olds Ayman Marwan Huwari and Amir Kamel Salim before releasing them a short while later. The forces also detained 17-year-old Adham Shaher Abdel Aziz Slim, 21-year-old Samir Nabil Shehaded, and 21-year-old Muhammad Rafe Fatesh after searching houses in the area.

Israeli sources said one of their militarized jeeps was attacked with an explosive device and soldiers responded with shots. No Palestinian groups have claimed any attack in the West Bank, and no injuries were reported on either side.
