The Israeli military on Thursday imprisoned two leading members of the Palestinian Hamas group in the occupied West Bank.

Witnesses told Anadolu Agency that the Israeli army carried out an attack on Ramallah and al-Bireh provinces.

In addition to clashes happening between dozens of young Palestinians and the army forces, Hamas leaders Jamal al-Tawil and Hussein Abu Kwaik were detained in the city of al-Bireh and in the Beitunia town of Ramallah, correspondingly, during attacks.
