Eight people were abducted in raids on their homes in Bethlehem city in the occupied territory, the Palestinian Prisoners Society said in a statement.
Israeli occupation forces also abducted eight Palestinians in the cities of Ramallah, Al-Khalil, Nablus and Jenin, the NGO said, adding five minors were also abducted in raids on their homes in East Jerusalem.
The Israeli occupation army, for its part, said its forces had abducted 13 Palestinians in raids in the West Bank for “suspected involvement in terrorist activities.”
