The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested at least 50 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank morning today, including children, within a wide-scale campaign of arrests and field investigations that started yesterday.
In a joint statement, Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said that the detainees included children and freed captives, in addition to journalists who were released later. Most of the arrests took place in the governorates of Bethlehem and Jenin, while the rest spread across the West Bank’s governorates of Occupied Jerusalem (Al-Quds), Nablus, Ramallah, Salfit and Ariha.
The IOF continues to carry out attacks and threats against detainees and their families, in addition to widespread acts of vandalism and destruction of citizens’ homes, the statement added.
The IOF has arrested more than 11,300 Palestinian civilians across the governorates of the West Bank (including Al-Quds).
The policy of systematic arrests is one of t
he Israeli occupation’s most prominent established policies, used by the occupation to undermine any kind of resistance against it.
