The army said on Twitter on Friday that its forces had detained 12 Palestinians in eastern Qalqilya.

The arrests came shortly after an Israeli vehicle was burnt and its driver was badly injured in an attack in the West Bank on Thursday.

Israeli forces routinely conduct arrest campaigns against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank on claims they are "wanted" by Israeli authorities.

Over 7,000 Palestinians are currently languishing in prisons located throughout Israel, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Prisoners' Affairs.
