Today, Tuesday, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club and the Commission for Ex-Prisoners' Affairs issued a statement on the latest developments in the detention cases carried out by the occupation in the West Bank and Jerusalem since October 7.

The Prisoners' Club and the Prisoners' Authority reported that the Israeli occupation forces arrested at least 20 citizens from the West Bank from yesterday evening until Tuesday morning, including a wounded man and children, in addition to former prisoners.

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

The statement indicated that the number of citizens arrested by the occupation from the West Bank and Jerusalem since the beginning of the occupation’s aggression against Gaza has reached (9,690), and this toll includes those who were arrested from homes, through military checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender themselves under pressure, and those who were held hostage.

The statement concluded by stressing that the “Israeli” arrest campaigns come within the framework of the comprehensive aggression against our people and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which targeted all groups of children, women, the elderly, and the sick, in an unprecedented manner.
