At least 22 Palestinians, including a child and a woman, were arrested by Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank during the last 24 hours, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS).
The two organizations said in a joint statement that the arrests concentrated mainly in Jenin Governorate, with other cases reported in Hebron, Tulkarm, Ramallah, Qalqilya, and Jericho.
Israeli forces continue to carry out widespread raids, arrests, and brutal assaults during arrest operations, along with threats against detainees and their families, in addition to extensive destruction and vandalism of civilian homes, according to the joint statement.
With these latest arrests, the total number of Palestinians arrested in the occupied West Bank since Oct. 7, 2023, has risen to over 9,125. This figure includes those arrested from their homes, at military checkpoints, those who surrendered under pressure, and those taken hostage.
The statement emphasized t
hat the Israeli occupation continues its systematic arrest campaigns as one of its consistent policies, which escalated significantly after Oct. 7.
This escalation is not only reflected in the increasing number of detainees but also in the level of atrocities committed.
