he Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have arrested at least 22 Palestinian civilians today morning, within an operation that started last night in the West Bank, including freed captives.
In a joint statement, Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said that most of the arrests took place in the governorates of Al-Khalil and Qalqilya, while the other arrests occurred across the governorates of Bethlehem, Tulkarm and Occupied Jerusalem (Al-Quds).
Since the Israeli occupation announced its last military campaign, the number of arrests in the West Bank has risen to about 150 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 a week 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, underag
e students, freed captives and Palestinian civilians in general).
The 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.
