Occupied Jerusalem, August 23 (QNA) - Israeli occupation forces arrested 15 Palestinians Sunday in various parts of the West Bank.

The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported that the occupation forces arrested two Palestinians, including a child, from village of Rashaydeh, east of Bethlehem and six others from Qalqilya after raiding and searching their homes. The forces also arrested five Palestinians from Tulkarm.

The occupation forces arrested a child from the village of Beit Sira, west of Ramallah, as well as another Palestinian in the northern Jordan Valley, Wafa added.

These developments come amid escalating attacks by Israeli occupation forces and settlers on cities, towns, and refugee camps across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. The attacks include raids and incursions accompanied by confrontations and arrests, the firing of live and rubber-coated bullets and toxic tear gas, as well as assaults on private property. (QNA)
