RAMALLAH, Saturday, May 25, 2024 (WAFA) — Israeli occupation forces have arrested at least 15 Palestinians over the past 20 hours, including former detainees, according to a joint statement by the Detainees' Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners' Society.

The arrests took place across various West Bank governorates, including Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jenin, Nablus, Qalqilya, and Hebron, the statement said.

During these operations, Israeli forces carried out assaults and intimidated some of the detainees and their families, in addition to vandalizing and destroying homes.

One notable incident involved the repeated raids and harassment of the family of Tareq Dawood in Qalqilya, whose house has been subjected to daily raids by the Israeli occupation army and his family members have been repeatedly detained and mistreated.

Since October 7, the total number of Palestinians arrested in the occupied West Bank has risen to over 8,855. This figure includes individuals apprehended from their homes, at military checkpoints, those who surrendered under duress, and those taken hostage.

These statistics cover both those who remain in detention and those who have been subsequently released.
