’Israeli’ Forces Detain 17 Palestinians in WB Raids

Local Editor

Palestinian sources reported that "Israeli" army detained at least 17 Palestinians in overnight raids across the West Bank on Thursday.

In the process, two Palestinians were injured, one of which was injured with a 0.22-caliber "tutu" bullet below his stomach, during a dawn raid in the village of Tell in the northern West Bank district of Nablus, according to Palestinian security sources.

Relatively, Jewish rights organization "B'Tselem" denounced in the past the "unlawful" use of tutu bullets by "Israeli" forces, noting that "the practical message conveyed by the military to soldiers in the field is that 0.22 bullets are not lethal ammunition, but rather another crowd control measure."

Meanwhile, "Israeli" soldiers raided several houses in Tell, detaining 41-year-old Asaad Taysir Yamin.

In addition, the occupation forces raided the refugee camp of al-Duheisha south of Bethlehem early on Thursday, detaining two young men.

Consequently, clashes erupted between the Zionist forces and Palestinians during the detention raid.

In parallel, locals from the al-Khalil district reported that four Palestinians were detained at dawn in the area.

In the context, an "Israeli" military spokesperson claimed that 15 Palestinians were detained for either "illegal activities" or for being suspected "Hamas operatives."
