Israeli occupation soldiers detained eight Palestinians, including two children, during raids on West Bank cities on Friday.

Palestinian police reported that raids on the village of Kafr Al-Deek, near salfit, where soldiers searched the houses of Fayez Odah, Iyad Al-Tork, and Musleh Nayef Al-Deek, stealing 4,500 JD and 14,000 NIS.

Near Nablus, a group of Israeli occupation soldiers raided the villages of Burin, Madama, and Asira, detaining 17-year-olds Khaled Al-Qut and Sa'eed Odah.

In Burin, illegal Israeli settlers burned parts of Imad Khaled Omran’s house and attempted to kidnap him before villagers and civil defense forces intervened to stop the kidnapping. However, the illegal Israeli settlers took his name, phone number, and are still present in the village.

In Jenin, Israeli occupation forces kidnapped Saleh Samudy from the village of Al-Yamoun while he was passing a checkpoint between Anabta and Ennab.

Israeli occupation forces also overran Azzoun and surrounded a local school detaining 14-year-olds Ayman Marwan Huwari and Amir Kamel Salim before releasing them a short while later. They also kidnapped 17-year-old Adham Shaher Abdul Aziz Slim, 21-year-old Samir Nabil Shehadah, and 21-year-old Muhammad Rafe Tafesh after searching houses in the area.

Israeli sources said one of their militarized jeeps was attacked with an explosive device and soldiers responded with shots. No Palestinian groups have claimed any attack in the West Bank, and no injuries were reported on either side.
