Israeli forces detained at least seven Palestinians, including a child, from various parts of the occupied Palestinian territories, said the Palestine Prisoner Society (PPS), Wafa agency reports.

Israeli police rounded up five Palestinians from the vicinity of Jerusalem’s flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, said the PPS, apparently for being present at Bab al-Rahma prayer area during the provocative tour of the area by hard core Jewish fanatics.

A 14-year-old Palestinian child was detained near an Israeli military checkpoint at the northern entrance of Qalqilya city, it said, adding that another Palestinian was detained in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, during an army raid of the area.
