The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested on Monday a Palestinian employee of Palestine Cellular Communications Company/Jawwal at Erez (Beit Hanoun) crossing, north of Gaza Strip.
Director of central operations at the Palestinian Borders and Crossings Authority Maher Abu al-Ouf affirmed that Ramzi Abu Anza was detained at the crossing while heading to participate in a training course in Ramallah.
"We were informed that he was detained and taken to investigation for unknown reasons," he added.
Erez is the only land crossing between Gaza and Israel, although travel is heavily restricted by Israeli authorities as part of a crippling blockade on the coastal enclave in place since 2007.
Palestinians detained at Erez are often interrogated for several hours, sometimes for days, before they are either allowed in or sent back to Gaza.
The Gaza Strip has suffered under an Israeli military blockade since 2007. Residents of Gaza suffer from high unemployment and poverty rates, as well as the consequences of three devastating wars waged by Israel since 2008, most recently in the summer of 2014.
The UN has said that the besieged Palestinian territory could become "uninhabitable" by 2020, as its 2 million residents remain in dire poverty due to the Israeli blockade that has crippled the economy, while continuing to experience slow-paced reconstruction efforts aimed at rebuilding homes for some 75,000 Palestinians who remain displaced since 2014.

The Palestinian prisoner Abdullah al-Barghouti, 46, who has the highest prison sentence in the world, started his 16th year in Israeli jails.
Spokesman for the Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies Riyad al-Ashqar said that al-Barghouti has been detained since 5th March 2003 after being kidnapped by Israeli special units in front of a Ramallah hospital where he was taking his little daughter for treatment. The girl was left in the street alone.
Al-Barghouti was subjected to violent torture for six months as he was accused of being responsible for many resistance operations that killed dozens of Israeli settlers and soldiers.
Since his arrest he had been held in solitary confinement at Ohlikdar jail. In 2012 al-Barghouti succeeded, along with other prisoners, to force the Israel Prison Service to move the isolated prisoners out of solitary confinement after waging a 28-day hunger strike.
Al-Ashqar said that al-Barghouti is subject to the highest penalty in the world which is 67 life sentences. Israel refused to release him in the 2011 Wafa al-Ahrar prisoner swap deal. Based on the 109-term indictment filed against him by Israeli courts, al-Barghouti was charged with being responsible for many anti-occupation attacks in which 66 Israelis were killed and 500 injured.
Al-Barghouti went on an open hunger strike for more than 100 days in 2014 with a number of Jordanian prisoners in Israeli jails to demand better detention conditions and regular family visits. He currently suffers from some health problems resulting from that strike.
The Palestinian prisoner was exposed to many punitive measures by the Israel Prison Service including arbitrary transfers, isolations and restrictions on family visits. His children's visit for example was reduced to 20 minutes instead of 45 under the pretext that they brought some books to their father.
Al-Barghouti was able to write several books in prison including "The Prince of Shadow" in which he talked about his life and struggle against the Israeli occupation in details. The book has been widely requested by readers due its exciting stories and narrative style.

Israeli Magistrate's Court in Acre on Monday extended the detention of a Palestinian prisoner for ten days as Israeli police claim he deliberately ran over three Israeli soldiers in the city last Sunday.
The police said in a statement that the 10-day extension aims at continuing investigation procedures with the captive on suspicion of his carrying out a ramming attack for nationalistic reasons.
For his part, the lawyer of the prisoner, Adel Thabbah, denied the existence of any nationalistic motives behind the incident and asserted that the captive is innocent.
The lawyer elaborated that the Palestinian detainee was with the company of his pregnant wife in their car heading to a medical center to do some tests, which makes it insane to put his wife and his baby at risk by such an action.
Israeli police shot and moderately injured the captive, who is from Shefa Amr city in 1948 Occupied Palestine, after the charge of deliberate car-ramming attack against three Israelis.
