They said the occupation forces detained 1555 people in the West Bank since October 7 taken at their homes, at checkpoints, and those who turned themselves in after the army held their parents or members of their families as hostages.

Among the 25 detained today was the journalist Sojoud Assi to force her husband Mohammad Badr, also a journalist, to turn himself in.

Most of the detentions today also happened in Jalazone refugee camp, near Ramallah, where a house of a detainee was demolished on allegation of construction without a permit.
