Israeli forces have detained three Palestinian children in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports, citing the Wafa news agency.

Mohammed Awad, a local activist, told the agency that troops raided the Wadi al-Sheikh area near the town’s entrance and detained the children while they were working with a farmer.

The children were identified as 15-year-old Saif Mohammed al-Alami, 15-year-old Mahmoud Sabarneh, and Oday Raed Awad.
