Israeli forces have carried out a series of raids near Hebron in the occupied West Bank, briefly detaining and interrogating several young men, Al Jazeera quotes Wafa news agency as saying.

They also arrested a woman whose husband, a civil defence officer, they are pursuing, Wafa added.

The arrest, which took place in the town of Dura, was an attempt to pressure her husband into surrendering to Israeli forces, Wafa said.
