BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces detained 23 Palestinians across the West Bank overnight Monday and seven minors in East Jerusalem, a prisoners' rights group said.

The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) said Israeli forces detained four Palestinians from the al-Fawwar refugee camp in Hebron, identifying them as Muhammad Abdullah Abu Teiema, 20, Mutasem Abd al-Raouf Ahmarou, Muhammad Zaki Odeh, and Muhammad Fayiz Odeh.

Mahmoud Ali Rujoub, 39, and his son Alaa, 26, were reportedly detained from the Hebron town of Dura, along with Yacoub Jamal al-Shawabkeh.

Two Palestinians identified as Nathmi Alawneh, 28, and Zakariya Azzuqa, 24, were detained from Jenin.

Adham Akef Asmar and Omar Abdullah al-Rimawi were detained from the Beit Rima town near Ramallah.

Director of PPS in Jerusalem, Nasser Qaws, said Israeli police arrested seven minors from the al-Issawiya village, the Ras al-Amud neighborhood and Silwan.

They were identified as Karim Mustafa, 15, Yousef Mustafa, 16, Shaker Mustafa, 16, Nour al-Zaghel, 17, Wael Salaymeh, 16, Bakr Uweis, 16, and Alaa Muheisen.

A lawyer for the Addameer Prisoners Support and Human Rights Association, Muhammad Mahmoud, said Israeli forces had transferred the detained minors to the Russian Compound police station in the center of Jerusalem.

Israeli forces also detained five Palestinians from the Zawata, Qaryut and Beit Iba villages of Nablus early Monday.

Palestinian security sources named these as Muhammad Atta Miari, 28, from Zawata and Khalid Abu Badr from Beit Iba.

They said that Hussein Muhammad Mustafa Maradweh, Thaer Mustafa Hussein Maradweh and Mazen Muhammad Hassan Allan were detained from Qaryut following clashes with Israeli fores that erupted when activists planted olive tree saplings in the village.

Israeli also reportedly assaulted students from Birzeit and an-Najah universities who were planting the saplings, before proceeding to uproot them.

Israeli soldiers detained Samer Makhlouf, a student at an-Najah University and Muhammad Majd, a student at Birzeit.

Last week Israeli forces uprooted and cut down several hundred trees in the Nablus district.

Five other Palestinians who remain unnamed were detained overnight.

An Israeli army spokeswoman told Ma'an she was looking into the incident.

Israeli forces routinely detain Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, usually on the pretext of security questioning.

Around 40 percent of the male Palestinian population has been detained by Israeli forces, according to prisoner rights group Addameer.
