The Israeli occupation forces on Sunday arrested two Palestinians from Essawiya town in central occupied city of Al Quds.

Eyewitnesses said the Israeli occupants carried the two youths to a detention center in Al Quds.

Essawiya town has been the scene of daily clashes with the Israeli occupants over the past week.

Meanwhile, the Israeli forces evacuated 14 families from their homes in eastern Tobas district under pretext that military exercises will take place in the area.

In recent months, Israeli forces have frequently raided the houses of Palestinians in the West Bank, arresting dozens of people, who are then transferred to Israeli prisons, where they are kept without any charges brought against them.

There have been many reports about the deteriorating health of Palestinian prisoners held inside Israeli jails.

More than 7,000 Palestinians are reportedly held in 17 Israeli prisons and detention camps. Moreover, 540 Palestinians are held without any trial under the so-called administrative detention, which is a sort of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows Israel to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six months. The detention order can be renewed for indefinite periods of time.
