Israeli occupation forces continued their campaign of mass arrests across the occupied West Bank early on Sunday, detaining 15 Palestinians, including a journalist and children, during widespread raids and search operations, according to the Prisoners’ Media Office.

In Hebron province, the enemy forces arrested two children in the town of Sa’ir, as well as a journalist in al-Dhahiriya. Additional arrests were also reported in Sa’ir.
In al-Bireh province, Israeli troops raided the city and arrested two Palestinians from al-Amari refugee camp.
In Tubas province, one Palestinian was arrested in the town of Tayasir, while another arrest was reported in the town of Tuqu’ in Bethlehem province.

In Tulkarm province, another Palestinian was arrested in Tulkarm refugee camp.
