Zionist forces arrest 17 Palestinians in West Bank

SANAA, Jan. 27 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation forces on Monday arrested 17 Palestinians from different areas in the occupied West Bank after extensive raids and searches.

The Palestinian Prisoner Club said in a statement that the Israeli occupation forces stormed separate areas in the cities of Jenin, Ramallah, Bethlehem and Hebron, and arrested 17 citizens, allegedly as wanted.

The Israeli occupation forces notified a number of Palestinian citizens in the village of Rummaneh, west of Jenin, to demolish their homes under construction.

The Resistance of the Wall and Settlement Authority said in a statement that the Israeli occupation soldiers raided the village on Sunday evening and handed over demolition notices to four houses under construction on the pretext that the houses are not licensed by the occupation authorities and are located along the apartheid wall.
