The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested at least 25 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank today morning, within an operation that started yesterday, including children, a woman and freed captives.

In a joint statement, Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said that the arrests spread across the West Bank’s governorates of Al-Khalil, Jenin, Ramallah, Tulkarm, Nablus and Bethlehem, adding that the arrests were accompanied by attacks and threats against detainees and their families, in addition to widespread acts of vandalism and destruction of citizens’ homes. This number is only a speculation as the actual number of arrests is unknown, but it is certain that the IOF has arrested thousands of Palestinian civilians (including children, underage students, freed captives and Palestinian civilians in general).

The policy of systematic arrests is one of the Israeli occupation’s most prominent established policies, used by the occupation to
undermine any kind of resistance against it.
