RAMALLAH: A Palestinian woman was killed on Tuesday by Israeli occupation forces near Salfit, north of the West Bank, the Palestinian General Authority of Civil Affairs said. The authority said in a press statement that Israeli forces detained the body of Amana Yaqoub, 30, after shooting her near the town of Haris in Salfit, it added in a press statement.

Meanwhile, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners' Society said in a statement that Israeli forces have arrested 35 Palestinians in the West Bank since Monday evening. The statement explained that among the detainees were "hostages" to pressure a family member to surrender, in addition to former prisoners, adding that the arrests were concentrated in the Tubas governorate, which the forces stormed, as well as in the governorates of Bethlehem, Hebron, Nablus and Ramallah.  

The arrests during the ongoing aggression for about two months in the governorates of Jenin and Tulkarm included hundreds of citizens and were accompanied by the conversion of homes into military barracks and deliberate destruction of infrastructure. - KUNA
