Israeli occupation forces detained Thursday two Palestinian children under the age of 10, as well as a youth from the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah.
Palestinian media reported that a force from the Israeli occupation army stormed a house on the outskirts of the town of Sinjil and detained the two children, Omar Najeh Masalmah and Daniel Youssef Asfour, both under the age of 10.
The raiding forces also detained Palestinian youth Mohammad Rizk Masalmah -- Omar's uncle -- from the same house.
Social media users circulated a photo showing a Palestinian woman climbing on an Israeli military vehicle to prevent Israeli occupation forces from detaining her child in the same town.
Earlier on Thursday, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) confirmed that 22 Palestinians were injured during the Israeli occupation forces' raid on the city of Beit Lahm in the southern occupied West Bank.
On Wednesday, the Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner Club emphasized in a joint statement that the Israeli occupation forces have detained at least 30 Palestinians from Tuesday evening until Wednesday morning.
According to the joint statement, among the detained were six children from the town of Aboud in Ramallah, a child from Beit Lahm, and former detainees.
This brings the total number of Palestinians detained at the hands of the occupation forces since October 7 to more than 7,150.
