RAMALLAH, February 13, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) said that the Israeli occupation forces have detained about 380 Palestinians in the governorates of Jenin, Tulkarm and Tubas since the beginning of the current aggression.
The PPS explained in a statement issued today that this data includes those who were detained and kept in detention by the occupation army, and those who were released later, and included children, women, young men, the wounded, and the elderly.
It pointed out that the number of detainees and those who were detained in Jenin and its camp over the course of 24 days of aggression amounted to no less than 150, while in Tulkarm Governorate and for the 18th day, the number of detentions amounted to at least 125, while the number of detentions in Tubas, which the aggression continued for 17 days, amounted to at least 100 cases, in addition to the dozens who were subjected to field investigation in the aforementioned governorates, adding that the detentions were accompanied by severe beatings and systematic abuse of detainees and their families, in addition to the threats that constitute organized terrorism against citizens.
The PPS noted that the occupation forces adopted a set of policies in various areas where the aggression has escalated, the most prominent of which are field executions, assassinations, and systematic field investigations that have targeted dozens of families, in addition to detaining citizens as hostages, and turning homes into military outposts, after forcing their owners to leave them and move to other areas, saying that targeting homes was not only by turning them into military barracks, noting to the deliberate destruction of infrastructure.
It pointed out that field investigations today constitute the most prominent policy implemented by the occupation in various governorates of the West Bank, without exception, specifically in towns and camps, during which thousands have been targeted in addition to organized arrest operations, and based on information documented by the Prisoners Club, the occupation army, when storming homes for the purpose of field investigation, forces families to leave the house, and carries out acts of terrorism against them, and acts of sabotage and destruction inside homes, before the arrest or detention process later, as a form of revenge policy, or collective punishment.
