Doha: Israeli occupation forces launched on Monday an arrest campaign that targeted 17 Palestinians in several different areas of the West Bank.

According to Qatar News Agency, Israeli occupation forces arrested eight people from the city of Tulkarm, three young men from the town of Arraba south of Jenin, and three others from Jifna and the Jalazun refugee camp in the Ramallah and Al Bireh governorate. The arrests also included individuals from the Hebron governorate, along with the detention of a boy from the city of Qalqilya. Additionally, it was reported that Israeli forces stormed the town of Al-Issawiya and closed the Jaba military checkpoint, northeast of occupied Jerusalem.

This arrest campaign comes as part of the escalating policies pursued by the Israeli occupation in the West Bank, which aim to intimidate Palestinians, restrict movement, and target activists and released prisoners.
