Israeli forces dawn Friday detained two Palestinians from the northern West Bank district of Jenin, said witnesses.
They confirmed that several Israeli military vehicles raided Yaabad town, where soldiers detained two Palestinians, including a 17-year-old high school student, after ransacking their families’ houses.
The town has been a scene of almost daily raids and confrontations since an Israeli soldier was killed by a rock dropped on his head during the predawn raid on May 12.
Israeli forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost on a daily basis across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.
These raids, which take place also in areas under the full control of the Palestinian Authority, are conducted with no need for a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers.
According to Palestinian figures, roughly 5,700 Palestinians -- including numerous women and children -- are currently languishing in Israeli detention facilities.
Under Israeli military law army commanders have full executive, legislative and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised.

Israeli police today handed the head of the Higher Islamic Council and former Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, an order banning him from entering the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem for four months.
Sabri told WAFA that the police came to his house in East Jerusalem and handed him the order, which he described as arbitrary and illegal.
“There is no state in the world that uses expulsion except this occupation state that wants to silence and muzzle us so as not to object to its belligerent schemes,” he said.
Police yesterday dispersed a protest outside Sabri’s house in East Jerusalem against Israeli harassment of the Muslim clergy after holding and interrogating him for several hours days before and ordering him off the Mosque compound for one week before renewing the order to make it four months.
Sabri often delivers the Friday prayer sermon at Al-Aqsa Mosque to tens of thousands of worshippers, which seems to agitate the Israelis.
