On the other hand, the Israeli occupation forces arrested at dawn today, six Palestinians during the forces storming of separate areas of Ramallah, among the arrested were two freed prisoners.

Similarly, the occupation forces arrested seven Palestinians from the Hebron governorate, including brothers, after having raided and searched their homes.
