The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out a large-scale raid and arrest campaign across the West Bank and Jerusalem at dawn Monday.
According to the Asra Media Office the IOF troops arrested 17 Palestinians three of whom were rounded up in Beita town in Nablus.
Six more Palestinians were detained in Occupied Jerusalem including two ex-prisoners.
Seven youths were rounded up in Bethlehem including six from Beit Fujar town while another was detained in Jenin.
Meanwhile IOF soldiers violently stormed and searched a local house in the town of Bir Al-Basha near Jenin belonging to the prisoner Yaqoub Qadri one of the six prisoners who escaped Gilboa prison last summer.
The Israeli army often carries out detention raids against Palestinians in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem claiming to arrest wanted Palestinians.
Over the past year Israeli forces carried out 4084 raid campaigns across the West Bank and Jerusalem and arrested 5286 Palestinians from different parts of the occupied territories.
Israel currently holds 4650 Palestinians including 34 women 160 children and 500 administrative detainees in its jails.
