Israeli troops arrest six Palestinians in West Bank

Israeli troops arrested on Monday six Palestinians during raids in two West Bank cities, security sources reported.
  
The Israeli forces raided Hebron and Jenin, arresting six people after meticulous house search operations, Palestinian police told Xinhua.
  
A spokesperson for the Israeli army confirmed the arrests, saying the Palestinians were wanted by Israeli security forces.
  
Israel says its soldiers attack the territory to arrests of " wanted activists," who are affiliated with anti-Israel armed groups.

However, the Western-backed Palestinian National Authority (PNA) complains that the daily Israeli raids hinders its forces to tighten their grip on the territory.

Meanwhile, In the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, Israeli army vehicles advanced into Khan Yonis, south of the strip, and destroyed farms near the security fence separating Gaza and Israel, witnesses said.

Israel imposes a 300-meter-wide buffer zone along its borders with Gaza to stop militants from carrying out attacks on its forces patrolling the area.

Islamic Hamas movement, labeled as a terror group by Israel and the West, seized control of the strip by force in 2007.
