The number of arrests in the West Bank has risen since October 7 to more than 7,210.

This toll of arrests included those who were arrested from homes, through military checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender themselves under pressure, and those who were held hostage.

From yesterday evening until this morning, the occupation forces arrested at least 22 citizens from the West Bank, including journalist Sami Al-Saei, two children, and former prisoners.

The arrests were concentrated in the Bethlehem governorate, while the rest of the arrests were distributed in the governorates of Hebron, Ramallah, Tulkarm, Nablus, and Jerusalem, accompanied by widespread acts of abuse, severe beatings, and threats against detainees and their families, in addition to widespread acts of sabotage and destruction of citizens’ homes.

It is noteworthy that the occupation continues to carry out the crime of enforced disappearance against Gaza detainees 141 days after the aggression on the Gaza Strip, as the occupation refuses to provide human rights institutions, including the competent international and Palestinian ones, with any information regarding their fate and places of detention to this day, including the martyred Gaza detainees.

It is noteworthy that the data related to arrest cases includes those who were kept in detention by the occupation and those who were later released.
