By Xinhua,
Ramallah : Israeli army arrested 12 Palestinians early Tuesday during raids in West Bank cities, security sources said.
The detainees seized in Nablus and Hebron cities were taken to interrogation, the sources said, adding that two of the detainees in Hebron were accused of throwing stones at Israeli vehicles.
Israel stages almost daily raids in the occupied territory and arrests Palestinians it accuses of planning or participating in attacks against Israeli targets.
The raids continue despite efforts to achieve a breakthrough in peace talks between the two sides.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is scheduled to meet Israeli President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem on Tuesday to discuss the sluggish peace negotiations.
Israel recently launched a crackdown against Hamas-linked charities and institutions in the West Bank, saying it wants to destroy Hamas civil infrastructure.
