The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) announced arresting a Palestinian female on Friday at Qalandiya checkpoint, north of Occupied Jerusalem, for allegedly finding two knives in her bag.
Radio Israel said that the detainee was transferred to one of the Israeli army's interrogation centers.
In another context, Hebrew sources reported that 10 settlers were injured on Friday after Palestinian youths hurled stones at their cars, according to Quds Press.
The Hebrew website 4040 said that two cars belonging to Israeli settlers were attacked with stones by Palestinian youths near Sinjil village, north of Ramallah. Ten settlers were reportedly injured in the incident, including a number of them suffering from shock.
The website added that the injured settlers were transferred to Israeli hospitals for treatment.
Several areas in the occupied West Bank witnessed confrontations with the IOF soldiers in solidarity with the hunger-striking Palestinian prisoners and in response to calls by the Palestinian forces and pro-prisoners committees for "a day of anger" in the Palestinian territories.
Nearly 1,500 prisoners in Israeli jails started a hunger strike on 17th April 2017, which coincides with the Palestinian Prisoner Day, to regain their human rights which were withdrawn by the Israel Prison Service and which they had clinched in previous hunger strikes. The number of the striking prisoners is expected to increase gradually.
The Palestinian Prisoners National Movement has launched 23 mass hunger strikes in Israeli jails since 1967, the latest of which was a 63-day hunger strike by administrative detainees in 2014. Dozens of individual hunger strikes have emerged recently against administrative detention.
6,500 prisoners are being held in Israeli jails including 57 women, 300 children, 500 administrative detainees and 1,800 sick prisoners.

The Israeli occupation soldiers opened fire at a disabled Palestinian young woman though she posed no threat to them, a human rights report revealed Friday.
Legal adviser on Israeli violations, lawyer Naela Atiya, urged the Israeli Internal Security Minister to launch an immediate probe into a shooting attack targeting the disabled Palestinian girl Manar Mujahed, aged 30, that left her paralyzed.
According to Atiyeh, Israeli border cops opened fire at mentally-disabled Manar, from Occupied Jerusalem, on February 27, 2017, leaving her bleeding and crying for help as she rushed to her father to save her.
“Her father, a bus driver, was parking near the military checkpoint where Manar was shot. He saw her from afar and did not recognize her at first sight,” the lawyer said.
Moments later, the Israeli soldiers handcuffed the bleeding girl with iron chains at the hospital, where they found out that she was mentally disabled. Manar went back home on a wheelchair, after her health condition had taken a turn for the worse. She has become physically disabled and cannot stand on her feet as a result of the bullets that penetrated her thigh and hip.
