Israeli forces Thursday detained seven Palestinians from the West Bank, sources said.
They arrested four Palestinians from Bethlehem, and three from Jenin, MENA news agency cited a Palestinian security source as saying.
On Tuesday, Jerusalem police and border patrol officers arrested 22 Palestinians on suspicion of rioting in east Jerusalem in recent days.
The detained Palestinians were accused of throwing firebombs at the Abu Tor neighbourhood and at security forces.
