Jerusalem: Israeli occupation forces detained at least 18 Palestinians from various parts of the West Bank between last night and this morning, including children and former prisoners.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, the detentions took place in the governorates of Salfit, Hebron, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus, and Jerusalem. The raids were accompanied by assaults, threats against the detainees and their families, as well as widespread destruction and vandalism of homes.
Since the beginning of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people in October 2023, more than 11,900 Palestinians have been detained from the West Bank, including Jerusalem. The exact number of detainees from Gaza is still difficult to determine due to the ongoing use of enforced disappearances by Israeli forces, with estimates suggesting thousands of arrests. These figures include both those who remain in detention and those who have been released later.
