380 arrests in the West Bank since the ceasefire agreement in Gaza

The Prisoners Club said that the Israeli occupation authorities continue to escalate arrests and field investigations in the West Bank governorates, specifically in the governorates of Jenin and its camp and Tubas.


The Prisoners Club stated in a statement issued on Tuesday that the number of arrests in the West Bank since the ceasefire agreement in Gaza came into effect has reached no less than 380 arrests. This figure includes those who were arrested and kept in detention by the occupation, and those who were later released. It included all categories, specifically young people.


He explained that this escalation is an extension of the systematic policy of arrests, which has escalated - in an unprecedented manner - in its level after the war of extermination, and the escalation of systematic crimes and atrocities against detainees inside prisons.


He pointed out that the number of detainees and those who were detained in Jenin and its camp over the course of 15 days of aggression amounted to no less than 110, in addition to dozens who were subjected to field investigation.


In Tubas Governorate, the number of arrests reached 28, 11 of whom were released, and 17 remained detained. It is worth noting that some of those who were released from Tamoun at the military checkpoint called the (Hamra) checkpoint were unable to return to the town of Tamoun due to its siege.


As for the number of arrests in Tulkarm, which has been witnessing a noticeable increase - within days - it has reached at least 20 cases, including an injured person who was arrested from an ambulance. The majority of the detainees were subjected to severe beatings and systematic abuse, in addition to the threats that constitute organized terrorism against citizens, specifically in the mentioned areas.


He continued: The occupation has adopted a set of policies in various areas where the aggression has escalated, especially in Jenin and its camp, as well as Tubas, specifically the town of Tamoun and the Far'a camp, where it continues to besiege the town for the third consecutive day.


The most prominent of these policies are: field executions, assassinations, and systematic field investigations that have affected dozens of families, in addition to detaining citizens as hostages, and turning homes into military barracks, after forcing their owners to leave and move to other areas, as happened primarily in Jenin camp. The targeting of homes was not only by turning them into military barracks, but also by demolishing, blowing up and burning some homes in Jenin camp, and there are threats from the occupation army to implement this policy in Tubas, in addition to the deliberate destruction of infrastructure.


Field investigations are the most prominent policy implemented by the occupation in the various governorates of the West Bank, without exception, specifically in towns and camps. The latest of these was this morning in Al-Fawar camp, which witnessed dozens of raids after the war, with the aim of field investigation, as well as the Deheishe and Balata camps, the city of Dura, and other towns and camps. It is worth noting that after the war of extermination, the occupation carried out extensive military operations in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas, where it targeted thousands through the field investigation policy, in addition to organized arrest operations.


According to information documented by the Prisoners Club, when the occupation army storms homes for the purpose of field investigation, it forces families to leave them, and carries out acts of terrorism against them, and acts of sabotage and destruction inside the homes, before the arrest or detention process later, as a form of the policy of revenge (price tag) practiced by the settler gangs.


The Prisoners Club renewed its call for the international human rights system to move forward in taking effective decisions to hold the occupation leaders accountable for the war crimes they continue to commit against our people, and to impose sanctions on the occupation that would place it in a state of clear international isolation, and to restore to the human rights system its fundamental role for which it was created, and to put an end to the terrifying state of helplessness that has befallen it in light of the war of extermination and the ongoing aggression on the West Bank, and to end the state of exceptional immunity that the old colonial states granted to the occupying state of Israel, considering it above accountability, accountability and punishment.
