The Israeli army has detained 12 Palestinians, including a member of the resistance movement Hamas, in different areas of the occupied West Bank.

In a statement quoted by Israel Radio, the Israeli army claimed that the Hamas member, who was arrested in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, was planning attacks on Israeli targets.

The army said the detained Palestinians included four from the northern part of the West Bank, three from Hebron and one from Jericho.

It gave no further details about the rest.

Israel has staged a massive campaign of detentions across the West Bank since the kidnapping and the subsequent killing of three Jewish teens in mid-June.

Hundreds of Palestinians, including several Hamas members, former ministers and lawmakers, have since been detained.
