Israeli forces seize 17 Palestinians in West Bank

Israeli soldiers have arrested 17 Palestinians in pre-dawn raids in a number of occupied West Bank towns.

According to the International Middle East Media Center, 15 of those detained in the overnight operations on Monday were from the central West Bank city of Ramallah and nearby villages.

A large number of Israeli troops cordoned off and ransacked the residents' houses in pursuit of 'documents.' The Palestinians were taken to military detention camps to be questioned.

The Israeli army regularly arrests Palestinians during overnight operations in West Bank towns, even though the detentions are in flagrant violation of a security agreement with the Palestinian Authority.

Tel Aviv claims that the people arrested in the raids are 'wanted activists' that have been detained for interrogation.

More than 11,500 Palestinians, among them women and children, are currently imprisoned in Israeli detention facilities, suffering harsh and life-threatening conditions.
