IOF Arrests at Least 26 Palestinians in West Bank

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have arrested at least 26 Palestinians since yesterday evening until this morning in the West Bank, including siblings and former detainees. In a joint statement on Wednesday, Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) said that the number of arrests in the West Bank since Oct. 7 has reached around 10,000, including all segments of Palestinian society, in addition to the arrest of dozens of workers and thousands from Gaza, without knowing their exact numbers and identities yet, as the Israeli occupation continues to carry out the crime of enforced disappearance against them. The statement pointed out that the ongoing and escalating arrest campaigns for ten months were accompanied by field executions, direct shooting before arrest, or threats of such, in addition to severe beatings, field investigations that affected hundreds, the use of police dogs, and the use of citizens as human shields and hostages, in additio n to the widespread acts of vandalism that affected homes, and the seizure of belongings, cars, money, gold jewelry, and electronic devices, in addition to the demolition and bombing of homes belonging to detainees in the occupation prisons. The occupation escalated its aggression on areas in the West Bank, coinciding with its genocide on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in dozens of martyrs and thousands of detainees.
