IOF Arrests 60 Palestinians in West Bank

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested at least 60 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, during the past 24 hours, including a student and freed captives. In a joint statement, Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) said that most of the arrests took place in the governorates of Qalqilya and Al-Quds (Occupied Jerusalem), while others occurred in the Governorates of Ramallah, Nablus and Al-Khalil (Hebron), pointing out that this level of arrests is the highest in the West Bank since the beginning of the year. The statement indicated that, since the beginning of the ongoing Israeli genocide on the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023, the number of arrests in the occupied West Bank has risen to about 9,100, noting that these arrests included those who were arrested from homes or through military checkpoints, as well as those who were forced to surrender themselves under pressure, and those who were held hostage. The IOF continues to implement system atic arrest campaigns, as one of the most prominent established policies, which escalated in an unprecedented manner after Oct. 7, 2023, not only in terms of the level of the number of detainees, but also in terms of the level of crimes committed.
