WEST BANK, Jan. 22 (YPA) – Israeli occupation forces raided several areas across the occupied West Bank early Thursday, arresting six Palestinians, including former prisoners.

They also rearrested a former prisoner after raiding his family’s home in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, in the central West Bank.

At dawn on Thursday, the occupation forces arrested a young man after raiding his home in Aqabat Jabr refugee camp, south of Jericho, in the eastern West Bank, and another young man during an incursion into Al-Amari refugee camp, south of Al-Bireh, in the central West Bank.

Palestinian sources added that the occupation forces arrested two Palestinian youths from the town of Dar Salah, east of Bethlehem, and another from the town of Za’atara, east of the city, in the southern West Bank.
