The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested at dawn Tuesday 12 Palestinians from different areas of the West Bank.
An Israeli army spokesperson claimed that 12 "wanted" Palestinians were rounded up during a raid campaign throughout the West Bank.
Ex-prisoners and a prisoner's wife were among the detainees.
The arrests were mainly reported in Rummana, Frou'n, Hamza, Dura, Surif, Issa, Tekoa, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Al-Bireh, Nablus and al-Khalil.
Guns, including an M16 rifle, were allegedly confiscated during the raids.
Local sources affirmed that at least two youths were injured, while dozens suffered breathing problems during the raid campaign in which the IOF fired teargas canisters at the youths.
Earlier Monday, IOF arrested five Palestinians in Jerusalem and Ramallah.
According to local sources, three Palestinians were detained in separate incidents in Occupied Jerusalem.
A 14-year-old boy was also rounded up in Silwad town, in Ramallah.
Another 14-year-old boy was detained in Beitunia town, also in Ramallah, near the separation wall.
The Israeli army often carries out detention raids against Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem, claiming to arrest “wanted” Palestinians.
4,600 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli jails, including 31 women, 172 children, and 682 administrative detainees.
