Israeli forces detained three Palestinians from Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, on Wednesday, including two who were tending farmland near the Karmei Tzur settlement, according to the Wafa news agency.

The three men, aged 37, 19 and 18, were detained in Khallet al-Kataleh, south of Beit Ummar, the report said.

Israeli forces earlier detained at least seven other Palestinians in raids across the occupied West Bank, including in areas near Jenin, Ramallah and Tulkarm.

The detainees included journalist Mohammad Awad from Beitunia, a former prisoner from Silat ad-Dhahr and residents of al-Yamun, Silat al-Harithiya, al-Bireh and Shweikeh.
