HEBRON (Ma’an) -- Israeli forces detained seven people across the West Bank overnight Tuesday, Palestinian and Israeli officials said.

An Israeli army spokeswoman said that four men were detained in the Ramallah area, one near Qalqiliya and two in Beit Ummar, Hebron.

A Ma'an correspondent said that three men were detained from al-Arrub refugee camp north of Hebron. Rami Hisham, 16, Baha Majid Wajeh al-Raei, 20, and his brother Muhammad, 16, were named as those arrested.

The men were taken for security questioning, the army spokeswoman said.

Earlier, Israeli forces detained a Palestinian lawmaker in Ramallah; Hamas MP Ayman Daraghmah was detained after soldiers ransacked his home, a Ma'an reporter said.

Daragmeh was released in 2010 after spending 20 months in jail in Israel.
