RMALLAH, November, 16, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli forces conducted a series of detentions across the West Bank overnight, detaining 12 Palestinians, including former detainees, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) and the Palestinian Authority’s Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs.

The raids targeted several areas in the West Bank, including the cities of Hebron, Nablus, Jenin, Qalqilya, and Salfit. They were accompanied by violent raids on homes, widespread destruction of property, and threats made against detainees and their families.

In some cases, Israeli forces ransacked homes, destroying personal belongings and confiscating items without explanation.

Since the start of the ongoing Israeli aggression in October 2023, over 11,700 Palestinians have been detained from the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as part of a broader campaign of collective punishment.

The scale of detentions continues to grow, with many detainees facing lengthy periods of detention without charge or trial, and reports of widespread ill-treatment during detention.
