Israeli occupation forces detained 22 Palestinians, including a child and former detainees, according to a joint statement by the Detainees’ Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society.
The arrests were concentrated in the cites Ramallah and Bethlehem, while the other detentions took place across various West Bank governorates, Al-Khalil (Hebron), Tubas, Jenin, Qalqilya, and Al-Quds (Jerusalem), the statement said.
During these operations, Israeli occupation forces carried out assaults and intimidated some of the detainees and their families, in addition to vandalizing and destroying homes.
Since October 7, the total number of Palestinians arrested in the occupied West Bank has risen to over 8,910. This figure includes individuals apprehended from their homes, at military checkpoints, those who surrendered under duress, and those taken hostage.
These statistics cover both those who remain in detention and those who have been subsequently released.
Israeli demolish house under construction near Jericho
Israeli occupation forces today demolished a Palestinian-owned house that was still in the construction phase, west of the city of Jericho.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces raided an area adjacent to Aqabat Jabr camp with military reinforcements and demolished a house, under the pretext that it was built without a permit.
The Israeli occupation forces have recently escalated their attacks against Palestinians in the Jericho area, including the demolition of homes, and the seizure of dozens of agricultural dunums, among others.
