The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested Friday morning a Palestinian young woman for allegedly possessing a knife in al-Khalil to the south of the West Bank.
Israeli media sources claimed that a Palestinian young woman was arrested near Tel Rumeida neighborhood in the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil before being taken for investigation.
Israeli forces have detained dozens of Palestinians for allegedly possessing knives in recent months since the beginning of October last year.
In the same period, more than 185 Palestinians have been shot dead by the IOF, raising international concerns over the excessive, even extreme, use of force against Palestinians. Israel says the majority of those killed were attempting to attack Israelis when they were shot or arrested, although Palestinians and rights groups have disputed Israel's version of events in a number of cases.
Israeli forces have carried out a series of unlawful killings of Palestinians using intentional lethal force without justification, said Amnesty International, based on the findings of an ongoing research trip to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
The organization has documented in depth at least several incidents in which Palestinians were deliberately shot dead by Israeli forces when they posed no imminent threat to life, in what appear to have been extrajudicial executions.

Sa’ai was moved last Tuesday to a solitary confinement cell in Megiddo prison for unknown reasons, his wife revealed. A court session is scheduled to be held next Wednesday to decide over his charge, the wife continued.
"I’ve just exercised my journalistic work in a professional way", the wife quoted her husband as commenting over the Israeli charge of incitement. Sami Sa’ai, who works as an editor in al-Fajer al-Jadid TV channel, was first arrested in 1997 where he held in Israeli jails for four months.

The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) moved the former hunger striker Muhammad al-Qeiq from Afula Hospital to Ramla prison hospital on Thursday, family sources revealed.
Al-Qeiq’s wife Fayha Shalash told a PIC reporter that her husband was transferred Thursday afternoon to Ramla prison hospital, pointing out that he is still undergoing medical treatment for recovery from a grueling 96-day hunger strike.
Al-Qeiq’s transfer to Ramla prison hospital came without any prior notice and he was not allowed to take his personal belongings, Fayha added.
The 33-year-old journalist initially went on hunger strike in late November to protest the torture and ill-treatment he faced in Israeli custody, but his protest quickly developed into another bid to challenge Israel's use of administrative detention -- internment without trial or charge.
After being in critical condition for weeks, with doctors and rights groups repeatedly warning that he has stood on the cusp of death, his lawyers struck an eleventh hour deal with the Israeli authorities, pushing the date of his release to May 21.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) warned of the seriousness of health deterioration of the prisoner Bassem al-Sayeh, from Nabus, who suffers from cancer and heart disease in addition to pneumonia. The PPS revealed that Israeli authorities allowed a doctor to visit al-Sayeh and to check on his health situation next week. Al-Sayeh, 43, was arrested by Israeli forces on October 8, 2015.
