Israeli occupation forces today detained at least 21 Palestinians, including three minors, from various parts of the occupied territories, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS).
At least 15 Palestinians, including three minors, were rounded up in multiple raids in the Jerusalem neighborhoods of Issawiya and al-Tur, besides to al-Eizariya town, east of Jerusalem.
Seven of the 15 detainees were rounded up as Israeli occupation forces stormed their homes in Issawiya, a neighborhood of some 20,000 residents who are constantly harassed by Israeli police and where anyone, including children, runs the risk of arbitrary detention.
