3 Palestinians shot, injured during Israeli raids in which 48 were detained

Detention raids conducted by Israeli forces between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in several villages across the occupied West Bank and the occupied al-Qusd (‘Jerusalem’) sparked clashes in at least three cases, according to Israeli and Palestinian sources. Three Palestinians were reported to have been shot in the northern West Bank.

At least 48 Palestinians were detained by Israeli forces across the occupied Palestinian territory overnight.

Israeli raids in Palestinian towns, villages, and refugee camps are a daily occurrence in the occupied West Bank.

The United Nations recorded an average of 95 weekly raids in the occupied West Bank in 2016, and 70 weekly raids on average thus far in 2017.

According to prisoners’ rights group Addameer, 6,300 Palestinians were held in Israeli prisons as of March, including 300 minors, 61 women, and 500 under administrative detention.
