The soldiers detained three others, including a father and his son, and ransacked their houses in Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah.
In the southern West Bank, the sources said soldiers raided Tuqu town, east of Bethlehem, and detained one person.
Soldiers detained another and thoroughly searched his family house in Hebron.
Military vehicles broke into al-Tuwaneh and al-Juwaya, two of the hamlets making up Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, where soldiers broke into several homes and tampered with their contents, wreaking havoc inside and causing considerable damage.
The houses belong to the coordinator of the Protection and Resilience Committees, Fouad al-Amour, his father and brothers.
