RAMALLAH, November 24, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces detained at least 12 Palestinians overnight in the occupied West Bank, including former prisoners, as part of a continuing wave of detentions and military raids across the region.

The detentions, which took place between Saturday evening and Sunday morning, targeted various towns in the northern and southern West Bank, including Tulkarm, Hebron, Nablus, Jenin, and Jericho. Several of the detainees are former prisoners who have previously been incarcerated by Israeli authorities.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners' Society reported in a joint statement that the detained individuals were subjected to violent raids and threats, with Israeli forces causing significant damage to their homes during the operations.  

In addition to the detentions, Israeli forces continued their incursion into the town of al-Mughayer, located northeast of Ramallah. During the raids, Israeli soldiers conducted field interrogations of dozens of local residents, a practice that has been on the rise in recent weeks across the West Bank.  

Since the beginning of the ongoing Israeli military aggression against the Palestinian population in October 2023, which has escalated in recent months, more than 11,800 Palestinians from the West Bank, including Jerusalem, have been detained.
