Detentions in West Bank and '48 areas

extract from PIC article

In the West Bank, IOF soldiers detained eight Palestinians in their routine raids on West Bank towns and cities. Citizens complain that the soldiers do not pay any attention to the sanctity of the holy Islamic fasting month of Ramadan and storm Palestinian homes at dawn when Muslims start to observe fasting.
An IOF spokesman said that 17 Palestinians workers were arrested on Monday for heading to their jobs in 1948 occupied land without permits.
Labor sources pointed out that the IOF rounded up 200 workers since the start of Ramadan almost a week ago.
