Israeli forces have arrested 16 Palestinians from different areas in the West Bank after invading and searching their homes.

The Palestinian Society Prisoner's Club said in a press release that the Israeli army invaded different places in Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem and Hebron.

Clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian protesters started earlier last week, after US President Donald Trump announced his intention to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and recognized Jerusalem as an Israeli capital.

Since then, many demonstrations were held in Gaza and the West Bank, killing two Palestinians and injuring hundreds more in clashes between the demonstrators and the Israeli army.
