Occupied Jerusalem, The Israeli occupation forces have arrested at least 30 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank during the last 24 hours. According to a joint statement by the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) and the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, at least 30 Palestinians, including a child and a woman, were rounded up by the Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank during the last 24 hours. The detentions concentrated mainly in Bethlehem Governorate, with other cases reported in Qalqilya, Jenin, Nablus, Ramallah, Hebron, Salfit, Jerusalem, and Tubas, the statement said, according to Palestinian news agency (WAFA). The Israeli occupation forces continue to carry out widespread raids, arrests, and brutal assaults during arrest operations, along with threats against detainees and their families, in addition to extensive destruction and vandalism of civilian homes, according to the joint statement. With these latest arrests, the total number of Palestinians arrested in the occupied West Bank since Oct. 7 has risen to over 9,155. This figure includes those arrested from their homes, at military checkpoints, those who surrendered under pressure, and those taken hostage. The statement emphasized that the Israeli occupation continues its systematic arrest campaigns as one of its consistent policies, which escalated significantly after Oct. 7. This escalation is not only reflected in the increasing number of detainees but also in the level of atrocities committed, including home invasions of detainees' families accompanied by extensive destruction and vandalism.
