Israeli forces detained two Palestinian children east of al-Bireh during clashes in the area on Tuesday, witnesses said.

The two children were detained on a street by Israeli soldiers, who dragged them to a nearby military jeep, locals said. 

The arrest took place in the Jabal al-Tawil area, with Israeli soldiers firing tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets during clashes.

There have been clashes near al-Bireh almost every day since protests swept the occupied Palestinian territory at the beginning of last month.
