Israel arrests 14 Palestinians, injures scores of unarmed protesters in West Bank
JERUSALEM (AA) – The Israeli army has detained 14 Palestinians in raids across the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces raided the Jenin refugee camp and arrested three Palestinians after searching their homes, according to local residents.
The raid led to protests during which Israeli forces used live fire, rubber-coated bullets and tear gas canisters against unarmed Palestinian civilians.
Dozens of Palestinians suffered temporary asphyxiation from Israeli tear gas.
Israeli forces also detained three Palestinians in Nablus, four in Ramallah, three in Hebron and one in Bethlehem.
The Israeli army frequently carries out wide-ranging arrest campaigns across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem for its ‘administrative detention’ policy according to which arrests can be made without charge or trial.
According to the institutions concerned with prisoners’ affairs, there are currently 4,650 Palestinians held in jails in Israel.
