The Israeli army detained 10 Palestinians in a series of raids in different parts of the occupied West Bank early on Wednesday, eyewitnesses said.
Israeli troops stormed Nabi Salih village in central West Bank and detained four youths after searching and ransacking several homes, the witnesses told The Anadolu Agency.
Two other Palestinians were detained in the northern city of Nablus after the Israeli soldiers searched their homes, the witnesses added.
The incursion prompted clashes between local residents and the Israeli troops, during which the latter used teargas and rubber bullets to disperse the angry crowd, the witnesses said. No injuries were reported.
Palestinian Prisoners Society, meanwhile, said that the Israeli army detained four Palestinians in the southern city of Al-Khalil (Hebron).
The Israeli army has yet to issue an official statement on Wednesday's raids.
Israeli forces raid Palestinian homes in the West Bank on an almost daily basis and detain local Palestinians, claiming the latter are "wanted" by Israeli security agencies.
