Israeli forces have detained at least 15 Palestinians, including at least one woman, during multiple overnight raids on Palestinian towns and villages in the occupied West Bank, according to Wafa news agency.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society and the Prisoners Affairs Authority said in a joint statement that arrests took place in the governorates of Tulkarm, Qalqilya, Jenin, Tubas, Salfit, Jericho, and occupied East Jerusalem.

In Tulkarm, four Palestinian men were arrested after around 20 military vehicles stormed the town of Illar and raided their homes.

In Nablus, Israeli forces arrested a young woman after raiding her family home in the village of Deir el-Hatab. The woman was identified as Narmeen Jamal Hussein.

The joint statement said that Israeli forces were continuing to harass Palestinians during mass arrests, including beatings, threats against detainees and their families, as well as destruction of the homes of civilians.
