Four of the Palestinians were taken from their homes in Balata refugee camp in the northern West Bank city of Nablus. The army invaded and toured the camp around 2 am.

Other arrests were made in the village of Bil'in, in the central West Bank, close to Ramallah. The army frequently invades Bil'in to conduct arrests, as Bil'in is one of the villages where weekly demonstrations are organized against the building of the wall on Palestinian land. It is said that the army arrests youth that take part in the demonstrations, to deter their participation.
