The Israeli army has detained seven Palestinians from different parts of the occupied West Bank overnight.
In a statement, the Israeli army said that among the detainees were three local Hamas members and a member of the Islamic Jihad movement.
The remaining three were detained for throwing stones at Israeli troops, the release added.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that Israeli troops stormed a residential building in Beitunia town near Ramallah and arrested a youth identified as Samer Awwad.
During the raid, the Israeli troops shot and injured another youth, who was moved to hospital in a serious condition.
Israeli forces routinely conduct detention campaigns against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank on claims that they are "wanted" by Israeli authorities.
Over 7,000 Palestinians are currently languishing in prisons throughout Israel, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Prisoners' Affairs.
