The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested at least 20 Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank during the past 24 hours, including a child and freed captives.
In a joint statement, Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said that the Israeli occupation summoned a group of girls in Al-Khalil Governorate, including students and freed captives, before arresting them.
Since the Israeli occupation announced its last military campaign, the number of arrests in the West Bank has risen to about 130 arrests, the statement said, adding that these cases are confirmed by institutions, in light of the continuation of the military operation in Jenin that has started six days ago. This number is only a speculation as the actual number of arrests in the governorate is unknown, but it is certain that the IOF has arrested dozens of Palestinian civilians (including children, underage students, freed captives and Palestinian civilians in general).
Th
e IOF has arrested more than 10,400 Palestinian civilians across the governorates of the West Bank (including Al-Quds), since the beginning of the Israeli occupation’s ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip.
The IOF continues to implement systematic arrests, as one of its most prominent established policies, which escalated in an unprecedented manner after October 2023, not only in terms of the number of detainees, but also in terms of the level of crimes committed.
