The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) has named 20 Palestinians confirmed to have been arrested during Israeli military raids across the occupied West Bank since last night, Al Jazeera reports.

Five young men from the same family were arrested in two raids in Nablus, while three mothers of Palestinians previously killed by Israeli forces were among eight taken from Qalqilya.

Six more people were arrested during Israeli incursions into parts of Jenin, the Jalazone refugee camp in Ramallah, and towns in Tulkarem.
