The Prisoners and Freed Prisoners Affairs Authority said on Tuesday that the conditions in Ofer prison, west of Ramallah, are tragic, stressing that the policy of suppression of prisoners’ rooms is still ongoing.

The Commission stated, quoting its lawyer, that the prisoners were subjected to a raid on 2/16 by units affiliated with the Prison Administration, and the raid was accompanied by assaulting the prisoners with batons and spraying gas, and many of them sustained bruises at the time.

It pointed out that the reason for the storming was the detainees' protest by knocking on the doors, in order to demand that the administration provide treatment to one of the sick prisoners, as punishments were imposed on them because of that.

It pointed out that the detainees complain about the shortage in the quantities of food provided to them, and because of this the prisoners have lost a lot of weight.

In another context, the Israeli army arrested 20 people, including former prisoners, during raids carried out in different areas of the occupied West Bank, since Monday evening.

This came in a joint statement issued on Tuesday by the Prisoners Club and the Prisoners Affairs Authority of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

The statement said, "The Israeli army arrested at least 20 Palestinians, including the freed prisoner Israa Animat from the town of Surif, in the Hebron Governorate, in the southern West Bank."

Anaimat is among the female prisoners who were released on January 19, as part of the latest exchange deal between the Israeli army and Hamas, following the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

In this context, the statement of the bodies concerned with Palestinian prisoners’ affairs indicated that the arrests carried out by the Israeli forces since Monday evening, “were distributed throughout all the governorates of the occupied West Bank.”

The statement also explained that Israel has been continuing its military attack on the Jenin and Tulkarm governorates fnor weeks, which has included "arrests and systematic field investigations that have affected dozens of families, in addition to detaining citizens as hostages, and turning homes into military barracks."
