Israeli occupation forces arrested 24 Palestinians in overnight raids in the northern West Bank.

The raids targeted a suspected Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas network in Qalqilya, a town just over the Green Line from the Zionist entity that is partly surrounded by Israel's controversial separation barrier.

"The heads of the network, who ran the regional headquarters, were operating to renew Hamas activity in the area and plotting terror activity," the army said.

 Those detained included "senior Hamas operatives who have been previously arrested for participating and planning Hamas terror activity," it said, adding that around $9,000 had been seized.

Palestinian security officials confirmed the overnight raids.

The arrests come amid a flare-up of violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories that has seen 10 Israelis and 75 people on the Palestinian side killed since October 1.
