RAMALLAH, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) reported on Thursday that Israeli forces continue to carry out organized campaigns of terror against families of Palestinian detainees, particularly during nightly and early-morning raids.
In a statement, PPS said these raids are accompanied by brutal assaults, including beatings, live fire, the use of police dogs, and destruction of property. Soldiers deliberately damage and demolish homes as part of “price tag” policies that have become standard practice, often seizing property and using civilians as hostages to instill fear.
The statement followed a night of raids that included widespread detentions and field interrogations across the West Bank. During the raids, elderly woman Haniya Hannoun from Al-Mazra’a Al-Gharbiya, northwest of Ramallah, was killed after a violent home raid, and her grandson was abducted following assaults on him and his family, which resulted in multiple injuries and extensive property damage.
PPS described the level of violence as unprecedented, particularly since the start of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people in October 2023, noting that detention campaigns are often accompanied by field executions, torture, and severe abuse.
Since the beginning of the Israeli military campaign, the organization said, over 20,500 Palestinians have been detained in the West Bank, including women, children, and the elderly, highlighting the central role of arrests in Israel’s open war against Palestinians.
PPS held Israel fully responsible for the killing of Haniya Hannoun and the continuing crimes against detainees and their families. The group called on international human rights bodies, including the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations, to take urgent action to stop the systematic campaign of violence by Israeli forces.
