RAMALLAH, Thursday, May 2, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli forces dawn Thursday rounded up at least 15 Palestinians, including a women, in multiple raids across the occupied West Bank, according to security sources and the Prisoners’ Affairs Commission (PAC).

They said that the occupation forced rounded up at least 15 Palestinians, including several former prisoners and a woman, from the West Bank districts of Hebron, Bethlehem, Ramallah, ,Tulkarm, Nablus, Jericho and Jerusalem.

The raids involved brutal beatings of detainees, threats against their families and large-scale destruction of Palestinian houses.

It added that over 8,550 Palestinians have been detained since October 7 from their houses and at checkpoints. Such detainees also include those who were forced to turn themselves in and those held as hostages.

The occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.

These raids are conducted with no need for a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers.
