Description
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces detained eight Palestinian youths from across the West Bank overnight Monday, locals and Israel's army said.

Three were detained from Silat al-Harithiya and Anin villages in northwestern Jenin, one from Farkha town in northwestern Ramallah, one from Azzun village in southeastern Qalqiliya, and three from Husan town in western Bethlehem.

An Israeli army spokeswoman confirmed all eight arrests, and said they were over "involvement in terror and violent riots."

All detainees were transferred to Israeli intelligence for interrogation.

Witnesses also said that clashes erupted between Palestinian youths and Israeli soldiers when several Israeli military vehicles raided the Salfit City in the northern West Bank.

Israeli forces are said to have fired tear-gas canisters and stun grenades at the youths.

Israeli forces routinely arrest Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, 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.

There were over 6,000 Palestinians detained in Israeli jails as of April 1, 2015, according to the Palestinian Prisoners' Society.
