RAMALLAH, September 17, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) said that Israeli occupation forces have detained approximately 120 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since the beginning of the week, including children and women, in addition to hostages and former detainees.

The PPS added in a statement issued on Wednesday that the occupation continues to escalate arrest operations in the West Bank governorates, concentrated in the governorates of Hebron, Jenin, Qalqilya, and Nablus.

At least 30 Palestinians were detained between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning alone.

The PPS that stressed that the escalating detention campaigns coincide with Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza. It said the raids are often accompanied by field executions, home demolitions and vandalism, violent interrogations, and severe beatings, as well as the detention of Palestinians as hostages.

The total the number of detentions in the West Bank since the beginning of the ongoing aggression has reached approximately 19 000, including more than 590 women and approximately 1550 children.

These figures include those who were kept in detention by the occupation and those who were later released, but do not account for thousands of detainees from Gaza.
