Israeli forces arrested 10 Palestinians in West Bank raids Monday and four fishermen off the Gaza coast, witnesses and security sources said.

The raids were intensive in the cities of Hebron and Tulkarem, where Israeli soldiers broke into Palestinian houses and arrested 10, residents said.

Israel provides no immediate charges for the detainees it rounds up in nearly daily raids. In general, Israel says the arrests target wanted activists.

In the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, Israeli navy detained four fishermen after intercepting two boats.

Nizar Ayesh, representative of Gaza fishermen, told Xinhua that the fishing boats were operating within the three nautical miles Israel gives for the Palestinian fishermen.
