Israeli forces have arrested at least 15 Palestinians during a series of overnight raids in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

It said that seven Palestinians were detained in the province of Nablus following early morning incursions into several neighbourhoods, as Israeli army vehicles raided a residential building in Rafidia neighbourhood.

Another four people were detained after Israeli forces raided and searched homes in the town of Qaffin, located at the north of Tulkarm.

In the Bethlehem district, four more people were detained from the village of al-Asakra, east of the city.

Wafa said Israeli troops stormed the area, searched multiple homes, and detained residents.

Israeli forces also raided several homes and reportedly assaulted a number of residents during searches in the town of al-Khader to the south.
