Israeli occupation forces detained 37 more Palestinians in a new operation in the West Bank. Those detained include women and individuals previously arrested.
According to the press office for Palestinian detainees, Israeli soldiers detained six people, including one woman, during house raids in the city of Tulkarm. Six Palestinians were arrested in Jenin, three each in Hebron and Bethlehem, and two in Tubas.
In the town of Ar-Ram, Israeli soldiers beat and detained a Palestinian couple, while in Qalqilya, 15 Palestinian workers said to be from the Gaza Strip were beaten and arrested.
Since Israel launched its attacks on Gaza in October 2023, there has been a significant increase in detentions, raids, and attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Israeli soldiers and illegal Israeli settlers regularly carry out raids in various parts of the West Bank. These attacks result in deaths and injuries, and in addition to detentions, Palestinian property is destroyed, and farmland and livestock are damaged.
Since October 2023, attacks by Israeli soldiers and illegal settlers have killed 1,182 Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, wounded approximately 13,000, and led to the detention of 24,000.
Before October 2023, many Gazans worked in Israel. However, after the border crossings were closed, some of these workers who were stranded in the West Bank were later sent back by Israeli authorities to Gaza, where harsh conditions prevail.
