Israeli occupation authorities released 66 Palestinian men on Thursday who were arrested during the invasion of Jenin Refugee Camp. Seventy others, however, remain in detention. 

Director of the Prisoners' Club in Jenin, Montaser Samour, told Al-Quds that the court released them during its session held in Salem camp, west of Jenin. Their release, he argued, shows that their detention was arbitrary and illegal from the offset.

He stated that the detainees were taken from their homes by the occupation during the raids and searches and used them as human shields, and after the failure of its aggression, it used the issue of their arrest to mislead and deceive the Israeli public opinion and present them as wanted persons, stressing the continuation of the efforts of the lawyers to release the rest of the detainees and return them to their families in Jenin camp.
