West Bank: Israel carries out widespread arrest campaigns

The Israeli occupation authorities continue to carry out widespread arrest campaigns in the West Bank, specifically in the Jenin Governorate and its camp, which is subject to comprehensive aggression. Since the start of the military operation on the morning of December 12, and until today’s date, the occupation has arrested hundreds of citizens, the majority of whom were released after being subjected to interrogation. Field operations and abuse operations in Salem camp. We point out that in light of the continuation of the military operation and the arrest campaigns, we were not able to confirm the exact numbers of detainees in Jenin Governorate and its camp, knowing that this arrest campaign is the highest since the years of the Al-Aqsa Intifada.


In the rest of the governorates of the West Bank, the occupation arrested (17) citizens last night and until dawn today, including a girl from Hebron and former prisoners. The arrest operations were concentrated in the town of Beit Ummar/Hebron, and the rest of the arrests were distributed among the governorates of Tubas, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Nablus, And Ramallah.


During the arrest campaigns, the occupation forces continue to carry out widespread raids and abuse, severe beatings, and threats against detainees and their families, in addition to field investigation operations, sabotage and destruction of citizens’ homes, and direct shooting with the aim of killing, in addition to widespread sabotage operations that affected the infrastructure, as is happening in Jenin Governorate.


Thus, the total number of arrests after October 7 rose to more than (4,400), and this total includes those who were arrested from homes, through military checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender themselves under pressure, those who were held hostage, or those who were arrested and subjected to field investigation, knowing that recently, the occupation forces have been focusing on field investigation operations, where they arrest many citizens, with the aim of investigating them on the ground, and then release them later, after carrying out abuse and torture against them.
