Occupied WB, ALRAY - The Israeli occupation forces on Thursday at dawn launched a wide campaign of detentions across several parts of the occupied West Bank towns and cities.

Local sources reported that the Israeli occupation forces detained journalist Abul Muhsen Shalalda from the town of Sa’ir, and detained Ameen al-Salibi from the town of Beit Ummar.

The sources added that the Israeli forces also detained Wajdi al-Badan from the town Tekoa, while detained Saddam Shawahin and ex-detainee Azmi Bani Odeh from Tammun.
