Istanbul: The Israeli army detained 10 Palestinians, including five children, during raids across the occupied West Bank, sources reported on Friday. Local reports indicate that these operations have intensified tensions in the region.

According to Anadolu Agency, Israeli soldiers arrested five children collecting wild plants south of Hebron, following complaints from Israeli occupiers. The children were taken to an undisclosed location, and there is currently no information available regarding their condition.

In the central West Bank, Israeli soldiers released a photo depicting several young men following their arrest in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah. An Anadolu correspondent confirmed that the image showed five detainees, although no further details were provided about their identities or circumstances.

The Israeli forces also conducted raids in the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, and the town of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah. However, there have been no reports of additional arrests or injuries in these areas.

According to official Palestinian data, Israeli army and occupier attacks in the West Bank since October 2023 have resulted in the deaths of at least 1,155 Palestinians, injuries to approximately 11,750 others, and the arrest of nearly 22,000 individuals.
